Amazing performances in films such as "Prague Love", "Cavalry on the Roof", "The English Patient", "Chocolate" and so on, making French actress Juliet Binoche unique in the international film world!
She has firmly focused eyes, she is silent, she rarely laughs, her closed lips and meaningful smile make people never understand what a mysterious world is inside her.
Among the beauties in the French film circle, compared with Sophie Marceau, Isabella Adjani and other beautiful women, Juliet Binoche is not the most beautiful, nor the most works, but the French actress with the best acting skills, the most intelligent, and the most international influence, some people call her the French Meryl Streep.
Although Juliet Binoche is not a country-oriented city in appearance, she is the first film star in the history of the world to win the grand slam after the three major European film festivals, and has also won the Oscar for best supporting actress, which shows the high level of acting skills! She has also boldly acted in many fragrant passion plays, so this sexy and acting French goddess has not known how many audiences have been charmed.
Binoche was born on 9 March 1964 in Paris, France, the son of Jean Marly Binoche, manager and director of a theater and a master of sculpture, and his mother Monique Starling, a university literature teacher and actor.
Her first memories come from the backstage hallway, the smell, the lights on the makeup mirror, the colors of her costumes, the laughter among her friends, when she was 2 and a half years old.
At the age of 4, her parents divorced and she attended a Catholic boarding school. From the age of 8, she performed drama in school and had a soft spot for masculine characters.
She began her acting training at the age of 12, graduated from the back seat of the César Awards in Paris, and is definitely from a science class.
At the age of 18, Binoche played a supporting role in Pascal Canet's Free Beauty, and later made a splash in Godard's Tribute to Mary.
In 1985, she starred in André Tessine's "Dating", and the following year she starred in "Bad Blood", both of which were nominated for the César Award, making her famous in France.
In 1988, based on Milan Kundera's novel "The Unbearable Lightness of Life", in order to make the three protagonists have no burden when showing their flesh, director Philippe Kaufmann deliberately used European actors without Hollywood backgrounds, and selected Binoche from hundreds of candidates.
Juliet Binoche, who is only 24 years old, plays the playful, sensitive, naïve and brave Teresa, who also grew up under the intersection of love and the times, exuding the natural beauty of youth and freedom, and has since become a blockbuster.
Roger Ebert, a prominent film critic of Chicago's "Age of the Sun," said juliet Binoche in his monograph on film and television retrospectives: "Her beauty and purity are as transparent as fresh air. ”
With this erotic classic, Binoche received international attention for the first time, and since then Hollywood producers have thrown olive branches at her.
In order to star in french director and boyfriend Leos Carax's "Lovers of the New Bridge", the young Binoche turned down various opportunities and made the film after 2 and a half years, allowing Binoche to win the European Film Award for Best Actress.
She once recalled, "When I was shooting 'Lovers of Shimbashi,' I was going to play a street girl who lived on the street, a role you couldn't play in a luxurious hotel, so I really lived on the street and felt the feeling of hunger, cold, helplessness."
She confessed, "This is what I have done for this role, this is also the pay that actors should have, acting is not talking about lines, it is a feeling from the inside out, you have to really understand the role you interpret, to experience their life." 」 ”
She also declined invitations from the directors of Jurassic Park and Schindler's List to star in The Blue, directed by the famous Polish director Křzystov Kijeslovski.
Blue is a film about love, faith and freedom, in which Juliet Binoche plays a young woman who suffers from a car accident and loses her husband and daughter.
In the film, she endures great pain, walks out of despair and closure, and regains love and freedom. Kiljelowski's unique sense of life and Binoche's delicate and exquisite performance made the film win the Golden Lion Award at the 1994 Venice Film Festival, and Binoche won the crown for best actress.
In 1995, Binoche participated in the filming of the feature film "Hussars on the Roof", based on the novel of the same name by French writer Giono, and was nominated for best actress at the 21st César Awards in France.
At the time, it was the most expensive film in the history of French cinema production ($35 million). New York Times film critic Stephen Holden wrote: "Binoch conveys a fiery spiritual emotion in this film, where people see a mysterious and charismatic woman. ”
Barbara Shulgaser, a film critic at San Francisco's Examiner magazine, even liked Binoche more than the film itself and its male protagonist, Oliver Massinis, who thought Binoche's eyes were "sparkling, and sexy lips made her face come alive." ”
In 1997, she played Hannah, a nurse in the film The English Patient, showing the colorful inner world of a woman traumatized by war.
Although she was a supporting role, she could not hide Juliet Binoche's personal charm, and she won the Best Actress Award at the Berlin Film Festival in 1997 and the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 69th Academy Award.
Binoche and Fiennes have worked together twice through Wuthering Heights and The English Patient, and she has praised each other, "Ralph Fiennes is a very funny and attractive person!" ”
Ralph said to her, "You're at the center of The English Patient because Hannah is taking care of the patient, but he cares about her, he's all she has left.".
At the 73rd Academy Awards, announced on March 25, 2001, she was nominated for Best Actress for her film "Love Chocolate".
In May 2010, she starred in the feature film "Legal Copy", for which Juliet Binoche won the Best Actress Award in the main competition section of the 63rd Cannes Film Festival, becoming the first actress to win the three major European film festivals.
Juliet Binoche, whose career is in full swing, seems to have a less smooth personal life. In the winter of 1986, Binoche walked alone through the streets of Paris with a large scarf and only two eyes, and was caught in the eye by the young director Leo Carax, who came to him and became the heroine of "Bad Blood", and the two quickly fell in love.
She then took on a lead role in Caracas' three-year-long blockbuster film Lovers of The New Bridge. When the film came out in 1991, the envied lovers also broke up.
In 1990, she fell in love with diving instructor Andrey Hall. In September 1993, Juliet gave birth to her son, Raphael, and at the end of the same year, the two broke up.
In 1995, while filming Hussars on the Roof, she fell in love with the male protagonist, Olivier Martinet, who eventually couldn't stand the pressure of Binoche's success and offered to break up.
In 1999, she married betrothed to because of a fake play by actor Benoy Marchmore, who was 12 years younger than herself, during the filming of "Red Dust", and in the same year, Juliet gave birth to another daughter, Hannah.
Juliet Binoche plays the twists and turns of different women's fates on the screen, and her own emotional life also rises and falls, with several twists and turns.
After several relationships, she still lived alone with a son and a daughter in 2012 and never married any man.
Compared with the openness and frankness on the screen, Juliet Binoche is tight-lipped about her private life, but although she has never been married, Juliet Binoche has confessed that she believes in marriage, and there is a desire to achieve marriage in her heart.
For Juliet Binoche, what to do is more worth trying than what to do. She didn't want to waste herself, she didn't want to consume herself, and every time she performed, she wanted to create something new.
Her acting skills are not in the sculpting of actions or lines, but in the passion that bursts out of her bones, so that you can hear the voice of the character's soul.
The talented performance artist Juliet Binoche is like a mirror that can "translate" the feeling in the director's mind, or the way the character should be in the audience's mind.
She can use her natural sensibility to fully enter the role, generate feelings from the heart, and then perform. Perform things and moods that cannot be verbally spoken. It's not so much a performance as an experience. Don't set limits for yourself, always yearn for the unknown.
From "Prague Love" and "Lover of Fire" to "Who Do You Think I Am" for more than thirty years, Binoche has personally played too many naked passion scenes, never caring about it. So in 2019, in her 50s, she also had erotic films, which was amazing. I am afraid that Binoche is the oldest and most famous actress in the history of the passion drama.
In addition to her achievements in the film industry, Juliet Binoche is also an outstanding artist, she loves modern dance, painting, writing... Her pursuit of the art field not only makes the roles she plays more vivid and full, but also makes her have a unique temperament that ordinary people do not have, and her soul is contaminated with the beautiful aroma of art.
She once revealed, "I prefer to go with the flow." Someone came to me to make a movie, and as long as the script was good, I would go and make a movie; some people said, you don't dance, I can stop dancing right away. In life, I have the spirit of fate and do not like to plan anything. ”
Liu Jialing once praised Juliet Binoche as "the woman who makes my heart beat faster". In 2007, Hou Xiaoxian came to Paris to photograph Juliet.
The beauty of the soul makes her never afraid of the passage of time, no matter how time urges people to grow old, she always has a quiet and calm smile. When time hurriedly took away the moisture of the petals and carved the wrinkles into the forehead of the beauty, the fragrance of her soul remained faintly in each glimpse of her, stunning the time.
