With Cannes about to begin, one of the films we're most excited about at ScreenAnarchy, is Julia Ducournau's Alpha. The filmmaker behind two titles that took the genre film world — well, the whole film world — by storm (Raw and the Palme d'or winner Titane), makes films that are violent, brutal, and very human. With Neon already set to release the film, they've dropped the first poster, as well as a brief synopsis of the story. Alpha, 13, is a troubled teenager who lives alone with her mother.
