Eva Green (Penny Dreadful) e Mark Strong (Kingsman - Il cerchio d'oro) sono i protagonisti di Nocebo, the new film by Lorcan Finnegan, the director of Without Name and Vivarium.
Nocebo esplora i temi del consumismo, dello sfruttamento umano e dell’industria della “fast fashion”, così come il potere della mente nella capacità di far ammalare o guarire il corpo. Contrario di "placebo", "nocebo" è un termine utilizzato per etichettare le reazioni negative o indesiderate che un soggetto manifesta a seguito della somministrazione di un falso farmaco completamente inattivo, ma dal paziente percepito come pericoloso.
Nocebo is currently in production in Ireland and, according to reports from Variety, the film is the first co-production between Ireland and the Philippines. The story is set between London and Manila and follows the story of a woman (Eva Green), a fashion designer suffering from a mysterious illness that baffles doctors and worries her husband (Mark Strong). The woman's life will change abruptly when the help of a Filipina caregiver (Chai Fornacier) arrives who, through traditional healing methods, will uncover a shocking truth.
Produced by Emily Leo of Wild Swim Films and Brunella Cocchiglia of Lovely Productions, Nocebo Is written by Garret Shanley.
Bianca Balbuena and Bradley Liew of Epic Media are the co-producers while XYZ Films (Vivarium, Without Name) is the executive producer.
Instead, in addition to Eva Green and Mark Strong, Chai Fonacier, a film and theater actress as well as a Filipino singer and songwriter, is also confirmed in the cast.
