Doillon was born in Paris and attended the Lycée Voltaire.[2] He has two daughters: Lola Doillon (born 1975), whose mother is film editor Noëlle Boisson, and Lou Doillon (born 1982), from his relationship with English actress Jane Birkin in the 1980s.[3] He has three other children named Lili, Lina, and Lazare.

His 1989 film The 15 Year Old Girl was entered into the 16th Moscow International Film Festival.[4]

His 1990 film La vengeance d'une femme was entered into the 40th Berlin International Film Festival.[5] The following year, his film Le Petit Criminel won an Honourable Mention at the 41st Berlin International Film Festival.[6] In 1993, his film Le Jeune Werther won the Blue Angel Award at the 43rd Berlin International Film Festival.[7] In 1998, his film Trop (peu) d'amour was entered into the 48th Berlin International Film Festival.[8]
