Coppelia is a 2021 film without dialogue that combines live action dance with animation. It stars Michaela DePrince in the leading role.

Production

Director Jeff Tudor developed the idea for the film, inspired by a 2008 production by Dutch National Ballet, where dancers DePrince, Camargo, de Jongh and Beaujean all formerly performed. Tudor teamed up with co-directors Steven de Beul and Ben Tesseur to write the screenplay. The choreography is by Ted Brandsen, artistic director of the Dutch National Ballet and creator of the stage production.

Most of the animation was performed by MotionWorks in Halle (Saale). Live-action dancers were filmed in Amsterdam against green, blue or yellow screen backgrounds which MotionWorks replaced with painted backgrounds or CGI-sets. Animated characters were added to scenes opposite live performers, who interacted with actors dressed in blue or green suits.

Filming started in July 2019. At the time of filming, DePrince was recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon, and she was using her film performance as a step to recovery. DePrince has vitiligo, a condition that causes patches of skin to lose its pigment. In the film, her vitiligo is noticeable around her neck.

In a review for Movie Music UK, Jonathan Broxton wrote that DePrince's vitiligo "fits in with Coppelia's underlying story about dangerously unrealistic and unattainable standards of beauty in modern society."
