La Frappe film explores family dynamics and manipulation

The film ‘La Frappe’, directed by Julien Gaspar-Oliveri, is scheduled for release on September 2. The feature film explores complex family dynamics following the return of a father after years of absence.

Starring Bastien Bouillon, the film focuses on themes of manipulation, filial love, and ambiguity. Bouillon portrays a father who appears sympathetic and fragile following his release from prison, though the narrative builds tension through an underlying sense of unease and trauma, leading to an explosive conclusion.
