Captive is a 2012 French-Filipino action psychological drama- thriller war film directed by Brillante Mendoza and starring Isabelle Huppert. [3] The film was screened in competition at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival in February 2012. [4]
The plot focuses on describing the torturous life of the hostages of the Dos Palmas kidnappings, whose survivors were freed after a year in captivity.
At a beach resort in the Philippines, 20 guests are kidnapped by an Islamic separatist group fighting for the independence of Mindanao, with French social worker Therese Bourgoine among those taken to a jungle island. Over weeks and months, a strange bond grows between the kidnappers and hostages.
Coco Martin was supposed to have a lead role opposite the film's star Isabelle Huppert. Martin was supposed to play a Marine but had to drop out and settle for a cameo role due to conflicts with his taping schedule for the military fiction Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin. [5] [6]
