Juliette Binoche
A magical ingredient of world cinema, a French actress with inimitable charm, elegance and talent.
Juliette Binoche is the epitome of glamour and talent and has been
captivating audiences around the world for decades with her distinctive acting
style and radiant expression, even off the silver screen. Born on 9 March
1964 in Paris, her path to fame has been as colorful as her subsequent career.
From early theatrical performances to groundbreaking roles in French cinema, her
ability to embody characters with refinement has also earned her acclaim.
One of her first major roles was as the actress Nina in André
Téchiné's 1985 film Rendez-vous. Perhaps her most famous role came in
1996 in Anthony Minghella's The English Patient, which brought Juliette
Binoche an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Her performance in
Krzysztof Kieślowski's famous film Three Colours: Blue is unforgettable, as is
her charming role as a chocolate chef in Lasse Hallström's Chocolat or her
distinctly negative character in Bruno Dumont's quirky detective comedy Slack
Bay. Whether in French- or English-language films, Juliette Binoche transitions
seamlessly between comedic, dramatic or romantic roles, and her acting
authenticity and verisimilitude have cemented her well-deserved status as a
globally acclaimed actress.
