Julia Ducournau‘s Alpha has been generating buzz in Cannes and now the genre-bending pic has a teaser trailer.
The film, which is playing in Competition on the Criosette, follows Alpha, a troubled 13-year-old who lives her single mom. When she returns home from school with a tattoo on her arm, their world collapses.
North American distributor Neon has now released an intense trailer that opens with the mother (Goldhiefteh Farahani) cradling her daughter (Mélissa Boros) in her arms as she sings softly. A series of shots that show their lives going from a happy existence to a much darker place follow.
Tahar Rahim, Emma Mackay, Finnegan Oldfield and Louai El Amrousy also star.
Producers for Alpha are Jean des Forêts and Amelie Jacquis of Petit Film and Eric & Nicolas Altmayer of Mandarin & Compagnie, with Frakas Productions co-producing.
Neon has North American rights, with Charades and FilmNation Entertainment are handling sales outside North America. Neon also handled Ducournau‘s Palme d’Or-winning 2021 body horror Titane.
Alpha screens tonight in Cannes and is competing in the main competition. The pic is set to release in U.S. theaters this fall.
