Forty years ago, Binoche first appeared at Cannes with the debut of André Téchiné’s “Rendez-vous” in 1985. This was her breakout film role that catapulted her to stardom. As she reminisced later on, she felt like she was born at the Festival de Cannes.
Juliette Binoche has consistently graced the Cannes Film Festival, appearing on the Croisette with films from some of the world’s most renowned filmmakers. Her collaborations include Michael Haneke, David Cronenberg, Krzysztof Kieślowski, Olivier Assayas, Claire Denis, and Anh Hung Tran. In 2010, she was awarded Best Actress at Cannes for her performance as an antiques dealer in Abbas Kiarostami’s film, “Certified Copy.
1985 marked my initial ascent of those steps, filled with youthful excitement and doubt, much like a budding actress; little did I anticipate that 40 years later, I’d be back, this time assuming the esteemed position of Jury President. I am grateful for this honor, the burden it brings, and the necessity of humility.
Apart from receiving the Cannes award, Binoche is uniquely accomplished among actresses as she has claimed the title of Best Actress at all three premier European film festivals: Cannes, Venice, and Berlin. She was awarded Venice’s Volpi Cup in 1994 for her role in Kieślowski’s Three Colors: Blue, and she took home the Berlin Silver Bear for her portrayal of a World War II nurse in Anthony Minghella’s The English Patient. This performance also earned her a BAFTA and an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
Lately, Binoche has been featured in Todd A. Kessler’s AppleTV+ series titled “The New Look“, portraying Coco Chanel. She also collaborated with her co-star from “The English Patient“, Ralph Fiennes, for the movie “The Return“. This was a modern interpretation of Homer’s epic poem, “The Odyssey” directed by Uberto Pasolini. Last year, she assumed the role of president from Agnieszka Holland in the European Film Academy.
The 78th Cannes International Film Festival runs May 13 – 24, 2025.
