If you thought you would ever get the opportunity to see Alice Englert naked, you probably didn’t think it would be in an arthouse film about a witch from North Macedonia, the artist formerly known as The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. That said, I have to give the casting director of You Won’t Be Alone credit. When I watched the movie first, not only did I not recognize Alice (whom I was actually not familiar with before), but I also just assumed she was a North Macedonian actress based on phenotype, a far cry from the Australian actress’ presumably Celto-Anglo-Teutonic heritage. Credit to the hair, makeup, and costume departments for the transformation as well.
Though I suppose Alice Englert isn’t beyond the international filmmaking experience. Her breakout role was, after all, in Ginger & Rosa, a movie filmed and set in England (and during the 1960s, which I think makes her a time traveler too). A year later, she starred in Beautiful Creatures, in which she actually plays a witch as well. As with Cristi Harris, it’s a very specific type of role for an actress to be typecast into. I should mention that in spite of the name Beautiful Creatures, it is just tease, and the movie does not contain an Alice Englert nude scene.
You Won’t Be Alone, however, does contain an Alice Englert nude scene – the only one in existence, as I write. In the movie, she plays one of the skins that the witch character wears. I won’t go into the kinds of specifics that would give away much of the plot, but the scene in which she gets naked is a sex scene with her new husband, but technically not the loss of the character’s virginity since she had previously had sex with Arta Dobroshi when she was a man. I promise it makes sense in the movie. Kind of. Here’s the gallery of Alice Englert naked in You Won’t Be Alone.
