Cannes Day Seven: Who Were You Before This?
from Stories in Motion · host D & J
We open day seven with Arthur Harari's The Unknown, a body-swap thriller about identity, transformation, and the idea that who we are is ultimately a memory we share with ourselves. Léa Seydoux plays a man in her own body. It is stranger and more honest than it sounds. We talk about the trans readings, the Antonioni influence, and why this film's ambiguity feels like a feature rather than a bug.
