Jacques Doillon (French: [dwajɔ̃]; born 15 March 1944) is a French film director and screenwriter.
Early life and education
[edit | edit source]Doillon was born in Paris and attended the Lycée Voltaire.[1]
Career
[edit | edit source]His 1989 film The 15 Year Old Girl was entered into the 16th Moscow International Film Festival.[2] His La vengeance d'une femme (1990) was entered into the 40th Berlin International Film Festival.[3] The following year, his film Le Petit Criminel won an Honourable Mention at the 41st Berlin International Film Festival.[4]
In 1993, his Le Jeune Werther won the Blue Angel Award at the 43rd Berlin International Film Festival.[5] In 1998, his Trop (peu) d'amour was entered into the 48th Berlin International Film Festival.[6]
Personal life
[edit | edit source]He has two daughters: Lola Doillon (born 1975), whose mother is film editor Noëlle Boisson, and Lou Doillon (born 1982), from his relationship with English actress Jane Birkin in the 1980s.[7] He has three other children named Lili, Lina, and Lazare.
Sexual abuse allegations
[edit | edit source]In February 2024, Judith Godrèche filed a criminal complaint which accused Doillon of rape during the filming of The 15 Year Old Girl when she was 15.[8][9][10] As a result of the accusation, the Tours film festival cancelled its invitation to Doillon to chair its 2024 jury.[11] Shortly thereafter, actresses Isild Le Besco and Anna Mouglalis joined Godrèche in accusing Doillon of sexual abuse.[12] Le Besco has claimed Doillon made advances during work sessions and tried to sexually blackmail her in 2000 while she was auditioning for his film Carrément à l'Ouest. Mouglalis alleged that he forcefully kissed her in the summer of 2011 when her then-partner Samuel Benchetrit was appearing in Doillon's film Un enfant de toi.[12][13] His upcoming film CE2 was postponed as the lead actors refused to promote the film.[14][12]
On July 1, 2024, Doillon, along with director Benoit Jacquot, were both questioned by police over Godrèche's rape allegation.[15] The two directors were also taken into custody by the Juvenile Protection Brigade.[15] On July 2, Doillon was released without charge after spending forty eight hour (two days) in a Paris police station jail cell.[13][16][17] It was stated that Doillon had been released from prison for medical reasons.[17][18]
Shortly after his release, it was revealed that since February 2024, three additional criminal complaints had been filed against Doillon.[17] The three women who filed these complaints were identified as Joe Rohanne, Hélène M. and Aurélie Le Roc'h.[17] Rohanne, who filed her criminal complaint in February 2024, alleged three acts of rape, assault and battery, and psychological violence which she alleged were committed against her by Dollion during their romantic relationship.[17] Rohanne's relationship with Doillon lasted between 2009 and 2012 and resulted in them conceiving a daughter who Rohanne claimed she got pregnant with during an occasion where Doillon raped her when she was taking sleeping pills.[16][17] Hélène M., who alleged she first met Dollion when she was 15 years old, claimed Dollion "sodomized" her for the first time when she was 16 years old.[17] Hélène M., who filed her criminal complaint in March 2024, alleged that the experience was "painful and unpleasant."[17] In her complaint, Le Roc'h, a French actress, alleged that Doillon committed "attempted rape" when she working on his film Petits Frères in 1998.[17] According to La'Roch, Doillon tried to force her into having a sexual relationship with him.[17] These three complaints had served as the basis for his forty-eight hour stay in police custody.[16][17]
Despite no charges being brought at the time of his release, and Rohanne's case being outside the statute of limitation, the criminal investigation against Doillon would continue, with the Paris prosecutor's office reserving the right to "assess the scope and terms of the follow-up" to the criminal complaints made against him.[17][16]
