Apple continues to expand the catalog of series available on Apple TV + almost every week. Last week the first chapter of the second season of Servant, a premiere that has had more audience than the first of the first season together.
Now it's the turn of another series, this time we talk about the drama Losing Alice. Unlike other releases, Apple has hung on its streaming video service the first 4 episodes, probably for us to get hooked on this new series of noir inspiration.
"Losing Alice" is a thrilling cinematic journey that uses flashbacks and flashforwards in a satisfyingly complex narrative that takes the viewer through the conscious and subconscious mind of its protagonist.
The series follows Alice (played by Ayelet Zurer), a 48-year-old film director, who feels irrelevant since she raised her family. After a brief encounter on the train, he becomes obsessed with a 24-year-old screenwriter, Sophie (played by Lihi Kornowski), and ends up giving up his moral integrity to achieve power, relevance and success.
Through the prism of this female Faust, the series explores themes such as jealousy, guilt, fear of aging, and the complex relationships that women have with each other and with others. But above all, "Losing Alice" is a love letter to the female director, still too rare.
Losing Alice is a Apple co-production with Israeli production company Dori Media. The series stars Ayelet Zurer in the role of Alice and Lihi Kornoswky in the role of Sophie. The rest of the cast consists of Gal Toren, Yossi Marshek, Shai Avivi, Chelli Goldenberg, and Hadas Jade Sakori.
