Like the father and daughter filmmaking families the Coppolas and the Makhmalbafs, we can now add France’s Doillons as such a pair. Lola Doillon will be following up her feature coming of age debut Just About Love? (2007) with Sous Ton Emprise. Kristen Scott Thomas is toplining a kidnap-themed drama with a titles that translates as “Under Your Spell” or “Under Your Grip”.
Currently filming, the six-week shoot will take place until the first week of September in Angoulême and the city of lights and centres on a psychological theme that Patty Heart could perhaps relate to this. This tells the story of an abduction of a renowned surgeon by a man who holds her responsible for his wife’s death. A psychological battle begins between the kidnapper and his victim, but during the captivity, their relationship gradually develops into mutual affection (aided by the Stockholm syndrome). What will remain of this “love” once the woman is freed? Pio Marmaï and Jean-Philippe Ecoffey also star.
