Alpha, the third feature film from French filmmaker Julia Ducournau — the mind behind the cannibal film Raw and the wild, genre-defying Titane — has had its official trailer unleashed.

Starring Tahar Rahim (The Serpent, The Mauritanian), Golshifteh Farahani (The Patience Stone, Extraction), young actress Mélissa Boros, and Emma Mackey (Sex Education, Emma), the film recently screened at the London Film Festival and will be released in cinemas nationwide from the 14th of November, 2025.

Alpha is set amid the context of a strange and misunderstood, bloodborne disease which slowly turns its sufferers to marble. The feature tells the story of thirteen-year-old Alpha (Boros), who finds life with her mother (Farahani) turned upside down when she returns from a party with a tattoo on her arm, leading her mother to fear she has contracted the disease herself.

As has become expected from Ducournau’s work, Alpha continues to showcase the filmmaker’s obsession with the human body as landscape, though this feels like her most reflective work yet. Stay tuned for our exclusive interview with the Palme d’Or-winning filmmaker, in which we delve deep into the themes and social horrors at the heart of Ducournau’s latest.
