KVIFF: The Unknown – I Is Another
Screened in the Horizons section at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival after premiering in Competition at Cannes, Arthur Harari's The Unknown (L'inconnue) is an allegory of alienation and identity, suggesting that the “mindfuck” remains one of the few ways contemporary cinema can still grapple with the realities of the present.
