Alexander, a young actor, has been falling for a few months in a spiral of self-destruction, becoming strongly addicted to alcohol and drugs. One night, he is stabbed by drug dealers and almost dies. To get out of his addictions he wrote the scenario of a film "Spiral" close to autofiction where he would play the main role of Daniel. Olivier Rainer, a director whom he admires, agrees to direct the movie and make Alexander pass screen tests while rewriting the script by incorporating elements of the personal life of the actor. Alexander wishing to exorcise his demons and reach his catharsis will follow Olivier unconditionally in a blistering adventure where reality and fiction merge.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a dizzying meta-narrative that relies on the blurring of lines between life and art. It explores the creative process as a form of brutal, self-imposed therapy, where the script becomes both a weapon and a confession.

What lingers after the credits roll is the unsettling question of where performance ends and existence begins. It’s a raw examination of the price of catharsis. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Sofiene Mamdi

Watch alone, with the lights off, fully immersed in its unsettling, hall-of-mirrors narrative.
