Story summary
- The film Alpha, directed by Julia Ducournau, centers on Alpha grappling with a crude tattoo and a deadly virus called the Red Wind.
- The Red Wind is described as reminiscent of AIDS, with the narrative weaving past and present around Amin, Alpha's uncle.
- Tahar Rahim portrays Amin with a strong performance, but the convoluted plot and superficial themes detract from the film's impact.
