NEON has announced the home‑entertainment rollout for ALPHA, the breathtaking new family drama from Palme d’Or–winning filmmaker Julia Ducournau. The film is available today on all digital platforms to own or rent, with a Blu‑ray release beginning June 23, featuring exclusive interview content with Ducournau.
A deeply emotional tour de force, ALPHA explores the impact of illness on a young girl’s family and the memories, trauma, and fears that echo across generations. While the film shares thematic threads with Ducournau’s acclaimed works RAW and TITANE, it stands as a singular, intimate journey that critics are calling “Ducournau’s most exciting, emotional, and eviscerating work.”
Featuring a standout, heart‑rending performance from Golshifteh Farahani, a transformative turn from Tahar Rahim, and a breakout role for Mélissa Boros, the film showcases a cast delivering unforgettable, deeply human performances.
At the center is Alpha, a troubled 13‑year‑old living with her single mother. Their world collapses the day she returns from school with a mysterious tattoo on her arm — a moment that unravels long‑buried truths and reshapes their lives forever.
