Losing Alice

Israel 2020 | 47 minutes | Hebrew | English subtitles

An erotic, psychological neo-noir drama thriller inspired by Faust’s tale that tells the story of Alice, an ambitious 47 year old female film director who becomes obsessed with 24 year old femme-fatale Sophie and eventually surrenders all moral integrity in order to achieve power, success and unlimited relevance. Through the prism of this female Faust, the series explores issues such as guilt; jealousy; fear of aging, rage and the complex relationships women have with each other. And, above all, Losing Alice is a love letter for the-still too rare – female director. Losing Alice is a thrilling cinematic journey that uses flashbacks and flash forwards in a satisfyingly confusing narrative that takes the viewer through the conscious and subconscious of its protagonist’s mind.
