Golshifteh Farahani marked the premiere of Alpha at the 78th Cannes Film Festival on May 19, 2025, with an appearance that underscored her reputation for choosing roles that resonate on an emotional and artistic level. In this highly anticipated film by Julia Ducournau, Farahani plays a pivotal role as the troubled mother of a 13‐year‐old girl whose life unravels after a single, fateful day. Her performance—steeped in palpable intensity and vulnerability—adds a profound layer to a narrative that blends psychological drama with body horror elements, all set against an evocative backdrop reminiscent of the social crises of the 1980s and ’90s.
