Juliet Stevenson Nazi legacy drama “Let Me Go” begins shoot

PanARMENIAN.Net - Drama Let Me Go, starring Juliet Stevenson (Bend It Like Beckham), has begun principal photography in Surrey, England, Screen Daily reports.

Filming will continue for three weeks before moving to London and Vienna, Austria. The production will last five weeks.

Based on the memoir of Helga Schneider, the story follows the emotional journeys of four generations of women from the same family and how they suffer from a trauma created during the Second World War.

The script was written by Polly Steele (Lena: The Bride of Ice), who will also direct, and will star Stevenson as Schneider alongside Jodhi May (The Last of the Mohicans) and Lucy Boynton (Miss Potter, Sing Street).

New cast members announced include Éva Magyar (X-Men: First Class), Abhin Galeya (Exodus: Gods And Kings), Stanley Weber (The First Day of the Rest of Your Life), Simona Hughes (Woman In Gold) and Elizabeth Webster (Cockneys vs Zombies).

David Broder (location manager on The BFG) is producing along Lizzie Pickering, who formed new company In Trust Films alongside Polly Steele and exec producer Georges Tsitos for the project.

Philip Selway, drummer for Radiohead, is composing the film’s score.

The company previously ran a Kickstarter campaign to raise finance, which failed to reach its target of $100,000, though that money was recouped from new investment.

In a release, director Steele highlighted the amount of women working on the project: “We are thrilled to be making a truly independent film with extraordinary female leads as well as an amazing crew made up of 50% women.”
