Losing Alice (2020)

There are a million different source materials from the olden days of fables that keep getting revisited and polished up into a modern retelling, and Faust seems to be the classic tale that keeps getting rebooted for our viewing pleasures!  In this Apple TV+ Israeli TV series Losing Alice, we follow an aging and ambitious 47 years old film director Alice (Ayelet Zurer), who is beginning to worry that she is fading into obscurity and her power around the industry is fleeting on the verge of turning 50 years old.  That is until she meets an enigmatic, sexy, and 24 year old femme fatale screenwriter Sophie (Lihi Kornowski) who offers her the opportunity to stay relevant with a genius screenplay for the ages.  As the story jumps around between flashbacks and flashforwards, we begin to see the classic tale of Faust work it's way out of the narrative of a this director who is clinging to the limited power that she has and uses eroticism, psychological torture between lovers, and guilt to paint a portrait of a women on the verge of giving up everything for unlimited relevance!  Both the lady leads on this series are about as sexy as they come and Ayelet Zurer gives us a couple of knee buckling scenes in her undies, but it's her "devil in disguise" Lihi Kornowski who gives us the goods by showing us her boobs and buns in a couple of scintillating scenes.  We'd likely sign our immortal soul over to her too after seeing that body a bit!
