The film, released as "Maryland" in France last year, follows
ex-special forces soldier Vincent, played by "Far from the
Madding Crowd" actor Schoenaerts, whose job is to protect the
family of a wealthy Lebanese businessman.
When his employer is called away, leaving Vincent to tend to the
safety of his wife, played by Diane Kruger, and child, the
ex-soldier fights his own paranoia while feeling that they are
in danger.
Winocour said her own personal traumatic experience had been an
inspiration for the film. "I had suffered from PTSD myself by
giving birth to my daughter and almost died from pre-eclampsia
with her," she said.
"And that is what the film is about ... sensation, and the film
is almost like a sensory experience and I wanted it to be very
physical."
Schoenaerts said he was so anxious making the film that he could
not sleep. "I was in a situation where I only had like three
weeks' prep and that gave me a lot of anxiety, I was so nervous
and I was scared that I wasn't going to make it.
"By accident, by being so nervous I slept ... two hours a night
... and I started to notice that I was having similar symptoms
to what these guys were going through, so I pushed that button,
and then of course I tried to study myself as I was going
through it," he said.
Schoenaerts, who also recently starred in the moody erotic
thriller "A Bigger Splash", added that the cast and crew started
acting "funky" after two months of filming in the luxurious
house around which the drama is centered.
"That house in the beginning feels like a palace ... But if you
spend two months, it becomes more of a prison, and people don't
like to be in jail, so everybody started acting funky."
"Disorder" is released in UK cinemas on Friday.
