Julia Ducournau's film Alpha uses an imaginary disease as a metaphor for paranoia during the AIDS pandemic, focusing on family trauma and coming-of-age.

Julia Ducournau followed Titane with Alpha, a stranger, eerier quasi-ghost story about a tattooed teenage girl afflicted by a marble-skin disease and social ostracisation.

Ducournau's 'Alpha' explores themes of transformation and societal stigma through a haunting allegory of a virus that turns the infected to stone.

Julia Ducournau's film Alpha disappoints with its incoherent narrative and lack of purpose, failing to capture the essence of her previous works.
