The Unknown: A Hypnotic Body-Swap That Probes Identity

IndieWire’s Cannes review of Arthur Harari’s The Unknown calls it a hypnotic, Antonioni-flavored body-swap thriller in which a Paris photographer’s consciousness moves into a woman’s body after sex, prompting a meditative exploration of change, memory, and what makes us who we are, anchored by nuanced performances from Léa Seydoux and Niels Schneider; the film premiered at Cannes 2026 and Neon will release it in theaters.
