Personae

Anna is a young aspiring actress. Living in a small and old apartment in the projects and failing all her castings next to more talented young girls, she dreams of being someone else and living another life. During a movie casting, she steals an expensive purse belonging to one of the contestants. Inside of it, she finds a letter informing its rightful owner that her biological parents have revealed their identities. This is the opportunity for Anna to play a role hopefully rewarded with a cash prize. Unfortunately for Anna, she is going to learn the hard way that it is dangerous to play with someone else's identity.

Directed by Rémy Rondeau, Personae leans on a strong ensemble — Solène Rigot, Thierry Frémont, Manon Klein — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2020.
