Juliette Binoche (born 9 March 1964) is a French actress, singer, and dancer.

She has appeared in more than 60 feature films, been the recipient of numerous international awards, and appeared regularly on stage, both as an actor and dancer.

She began taking acting lessons in adolescence and was starring in several stage productions, including Jean-Luc Godard (Hail Mary, 1985), and André Téchiné, the former actress in Jean-Luc Godard's 1985 film Rendez-vous; the latter would make her a leading role in France.

In her English-language debut The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988), directed by Philip Kaufman, began her international career. Steven Spielberg, who gave her multiple roles, including one in Jurassic Park, but she declined to join Krzysztof Kieslowski in Three Colors: Blue (1993), a performance for which she received the Venice Film Festival Award for Best Actress and a César.

In comparison to the Best Actress Award at the 1997 Berlin International Film Festival, Binoche earned more fame in Anthony Minghella's The English Patient (1996), for which she was honoured an Academy Award and a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress.

Binoche received the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in Lasse Hallström's romantic comedy Chocolat (2000). She had a fruitful career in both mainstream and experimental theatre during the 2000s, shifting between French and English language roles.

In 2010, she received the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival for her role in Abbas Kiarostami's Certified Copy, making her the first actress to win the European "Best Actress Triple Crown" (for winning best actress awards at Berlin, Cannes, and Venice film festivals).

Early life

Binoche was born in Paris, the daughter of Jean-Marie Binoche, a producer, actor, and sculptor, as well as Monique Yvette Stalens (born 1939), a teacher, producer, and actress. Her father, who is French-born, has one of the eighth Portuguese-Brazilian ancestry; he was raised partially in Morocco by his French-born parents. Her mother was born in Czstochowa, Poland. Andre Stalens, Binoche's maternal grandfather, was born in Poland, of Belgian (Walloon) and French descent, and Binoche's maternal grandmother, Julia Helena Mynarczyk, was of Polish descent. Both of them were actors who were born in Cztochowa, and the German Nazi occupiers detained them as intellectuals at Auschwitz.

Juliette, a four-year-old Juliette and her sister Marion were sent to a provincial boarding school when Binoche's parents divorced in 1968. The Binoche sisters spent their school holidays with their maternal grandmother, not seeing their parents for months at a time. Binoche has claimed that this ostensible parental abandonment had a major effect on her.

She was not particularly academic, and in her teenage years she began acting in amateur stage performances. Exit the King, a teenager, was directed and starred in a student production by Eugène Ionesco. She studied at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de d'Art Dramatique (CNSAD), but she resigned after a short time because of the curriculum. She met an agent through a friend and joined a theater troupe, touring France, Belgium, and Switzerland under the name "Juliette Adrienne." She began training with acting coach Vera Gregh around this time.

Her first professional screen appearance came as an extra in the three-part TF1 television series Dorothée, lance de corde (1983), directed by Jacques Fansten, followed by a small role in the provincial television film Fort bloque directed by Pierrick Guinnard. Binoche made her debut in Pascal Kané's Liberty Belle (1983) after this. Binoche was only on film for two days, but it was enough to inspire her to pursue a film career.

Personal life

Binoche has two children: Rapha (born on September 2, 1993), André Halle, a professional scuba diver, and Hana (born on December 16, 1999), with whom Binoche appeared in the 1999 film Children of the Century. Marion Stalens, a 1960s photographer, is a professional photographer with Corbis; La réconciliation?, a documentary film that traces John Boorman's dance performance In-I; and The Actress and the Dancer, which discusses Binoche's dance work In-I; and Juliette Binoche, a documentary that follows Binoche as she paints the portraits that will later appear in her book Portraits in Eyes. Marion is married to stage director Pierre Pradinas.

Camille Humeau (born 1978), her half-brother, is an internationally recognised musician and has appeared in Oncle Strongle's line-up before joining the company Artichaut Orkestra. He appeared in a stage performance of Cabaret directed by Sam Mendes in 2007.

Binoche has been a supporter of Enfants d'Asie, formerly known as ASPECA. She is the godmother to five Cambodian orphanages and has sponsored the construction of a children's home in Battambang. She has been involved with Reporters Without Borders, a non-profit that has existed since 2000. With Thierry Ardisson, she presided over "Photos of Stars" in 2002. Nearly 100 French celebrities were given disposable cameras, which were then auctioned, with the purchaser obtaining the exclusive pictures taken by the actor.

Binoche attended a high-profile protest organized by Reporters Without Borders in favor of Jill Carroll and two Iraqi journalists who had been kidnapped in Baghdad on February 7th.

José Bové was voted in the 2007 French presidential election by Margaret Sarkozy, who was defeated by Nicolas Sarkozy. On several occasions, she has stated that she did not accept the Sarkozy administration and that he was establishing a monarchic republic.

"He didn't tell me everything" after the September 11 attacks, including the American secret service, which shows that several interest groups, including the American Secret Service, were aware of an imminent attack on the United States, and the film's chief, Jennifer Gray, expressed her displeasure with the film's September 11 attacks. "I was pleasantly surprised by some things." The CIA and others were aware of it, for her.

Binoche and several other French figures, including Isabelle Adjani, Yvan Attal, Jane Birkin, and Josiane Balasko, all arrived in Réseau Éducation Sans Frontières (RESF) on January 7, 2010 with a collective "cake of solidarity" to highlight the taxation and legitimacy challenges faced by undocumented employees in France.

Binoche was a signatory to a June 2010 campaign launched by Reporters Without Borders and Shirin Ebadi to protest the detention of many people, including journalists of the media, who were protesting the first anniversary of Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's disputed re-election.

Binoche spoke out against Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi's detention in Tehran's Evin Prison since 1 March 2010 without charge or conviction. Following the press screening of Copie Conforme, Binoche was informed that Panahi had initiated a hunger strike. Binoche also attended a press conference on Monday, demanding that Panahi be released. Abbas Kiarostami, Mohsen Makhachhmalbaf, and Gilles Jacob were among those in attendance. In a letter from Panahi's detention was "unwarranted and intolerable," Binoche said. Binoche received the Best Actress award at the festival, brandishing his name on a placard, she used her address to lift Panahi's spirits once more. Panahi had been released on bail on May 25, according to the newspaper. Binoche and Kiarostami's publicity for his case, according to experts, was a major factor in his demise. Panahi was sentenced to six years in prison for "assembly and colluding with the intent of committing crimes against the country's national security and propaganda against the Islamic Republic," as well as leaving the country. Binoche continued to campaign for his cause.

She co-authored a tribune in Le Monde in May 2018, in which she denied the French judiciary's admission of three migrants as a result of the trial, and that she had already assisted migrants in need and wants to continue doing so.

Harvey Weinstein, a legendary producer and actor, as well as actresses, said in February 2019 during a press conference at the Berlin International Film Festival, "we shouldn't forget," Binoche said, "even though it has been challenging for some directors and actors, and especially actresses." "I just want to say peace to his mind and heart," Binoche said, "and that's all, I'm trying to put my feet in his shoes." I suspect he had enough. A number of people have expressed themselves. Now justice must do its jobs."

Career

Binoche's early films made her a French celebrity of some renown. In 1983, she applied for the female role in Jean-Luc Godard's tumultuous Hail Mary, a modern retelling of the Virgin birth. Godard, who had seen a snapshot of her with Binoche at the time, arranged a meeting with her. Although she said she spent six months on the film's set in Geneva, her involvement in the final cut is limited to just a few scenes. In a number of French films, supporting roles will be followed. Les Nanas of Annick Lano played Binoche in her most notable role to date, despite the fact that the experience was not memorable or influential, she has denied that she was the case. She gained more prominence in Jacques Doillon's critically acclaimed Family Life cast as the vivacious teenage step-daughter of Sami Frey's central character. This film was supposed to set the tone of her early career. Doillon has stated that her character was supposed to be 14 years old in the original screenplay, but that he was so impressed with Binoche's audition that he changed the character's age to 17 to enable her to play her. Binoche continued this role in Bob Decout's Adieu Blaireau, a policier drama starring Philippe Léotard and Annie Girardot in April 1985. Adieu Blaireau's impact with critics or audiences was too small.

Binoche's debut as a leading actress in André Téchiné's Rendez-vous in 1985 was to be complete. Sandrine Bonnaire had to cancel the film due to a scheduling conflict, but she was only on short notice. At the 1985 Cannes Film Festival, Rendezvous debuted, winning Best Director. Binoche became the festival's darling, and the film was a hit. Rendez-Vous is the story of Nina (Binoche), a provincial actress who arrives in Paris and embarks on a string of dysfunctional relationships with many men, including the moody, suicidal Quentin (Lambert Wilson). However, it is Nina's collaboration with theater producer Scrutzler, played by Jean-Louis Trintignant, that brings us to the point of defining Nina. Armond White wrote about Rendez-vous in Film Comment as "Juliette Binoche's career-defining role."

Binoche was nominated for her first César for Best Actress in a Leading Role in 1986 for her role in the film. Following Rendez-Vous, she was uncertain what would be her next move. She auditioned unsuccessfully for Yves Boisset's Bleu comme l'enfer and Robin Davis' Hors la loi, but she was then cast in My Brother-in-Law Killed My Sister (1986) by Jacques Rouffio opposite French actor Michel Serrault and Michel Piccoli. This film was a film about human beings and industry. Binoche has stated that Rouffio's film is extremely influential to her career because it taught her to evaluate roles based on the screenplay's quality and her relationship with a producer, not on the reputation of other cast members. She appeared in Leos Carax's Mauvais Sang later in 1986. This film was a critical and commercial success, leading to Binoche's second César nomination. Mauvais Sang is a avant-garde drama in which she portrays Anna, Marc's much younger sister who falls in love with Alex (Denis Lavant), a young robber. When shooting this film, Binoche has claimed that she "discovered the camera."

In August 1986, Binoche started filming Philip Kaufman's adaptation of Milan Kundera's book The Unbearable Lightness of Being, portraying the young and innocent Tereza. This was Binoche's first English language role, and it was a worldwide success with writers and viewers alike. The film, set during the Soviet invasion of Prague in 1968, tells the tale of a Czech surgeon Tomas (Daniel Day-Lewis) and his partner Tereza (Lena Olin), who is accompanied by his wife Tereza and his lover Sabina (Lena Olin). Binoche has said that at the time, her English was poor and that she relied on a French translator to fully comprehend her role. Binoche opted to return to France rather than pursue an international career after this success. She appeared in Un tour de manège, Pierre Pradinas' little-seen French film opposite François Cluzet in 1988. She has stated that the reason for her attraction to this film was because it offered her the opportunity to work with close friends and relatives. Pradinas is the husband of Marion Stalens, the film's set photographer who appeared in a cameo role. Binoche returned to the stage in 1988 as part of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull directed by Russian director Andrei Konchalovsky at Théâtre de l'Odéon in Paris.

She began working on Leos Carax's Les Amants du Pont-Neuf later this year. The film was beset by issues and took three years to finish, requiring investment from three manufacturers and funds from the French government. Les Amants du Pont-Neuf, a critical success when it was first launched in 1991, was a huge success. Binoche received her third César nomination for her appearance as well as a European Film Award for her role. In the film Binoche, an artist who lives rough on the famous Parisian bridge, where she meets another young vagrant (Denis Lavant). This historic part of the city becomes the backdrop for a wildly passionate love tale as well as some of the city's most striking photos ever created. Binoche's own creations were included in the film. The film's French poster, which also features an ink drawing of the eponymous couples locked in marriage, was also created by her. Binoche spent five days shooting Mara for Mike Figgis, based on Henry Miller's Quiet Days in Clichy, during a break in filming in 1990. This 30-minute film was part of HBO's anthology series Women & Men 2. When HBO changed it after he'd finished it, the film became more tumultuous, according to Mike Figgis. On August 18, 1991, HBO in the United States premiered a film.

Binoche seemed to be at a crossroads in her career at this moment. She was named as one of the most influential French actresses of her generation. However, Les Amants du Pont-Neuf's long history caused her to drop out of many important roles in international films, including The Double Life of Véronique by Jean-Paul Rappeneau, Night and Day by Chantal Akerman, and Beyond the Aegean, an aborted project with Elia Kazan. Binoche opted to pursue a foreign career after leaving France.

Binoche was cast in a sequence of critically and commercially successful international films in the 1990s, receiving her praise and accolades. Her persona changed from that of a young gamine to a more melancholic, tragic presence in this period. Critics argued that many of her appearances were notable for her almost passive presence in the face of tragedy and despair. Binoche has referred to her characters from this period as her "sorrowful sisters." Binoche and the Le Amants du Pont-Neuf film, which both of whom have greatly improved Emily Bront's Wuthering Heights and Damage's international fame, have migrated to London for Emily Bront's 1992 film Wuthering Heights and Damage, which have both greatly enhanced her international fame. Nonetheless, both films were significant both professionally and personally; her casting opposite Ralph Fiennes' Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights, instead of English actresses Helena Bonham Carter and Kate Beckinsale, was unimpressed that a uniquely British role had been switched to a French actress, who was both shocked and drew skepticism from the British press. At the 1992 Edinburgh International Film Festival, the film made its world premiere. Binoche's results were stifled, with Binoche being snubbed "Cathy Clouseau" and mocked for her "franglais" accent. Both Binoche and director Peter Kosminsky distanced themselves from the film, with Binoche refusing to do any publicity for the film or to redub it into French.

The story of a British Conservative minister played by Jeremy Irons, who embarks on a tumultuous affair with his son's fiancée, is a story about the Losses, a UK and French co-production (Binoche). Damage appeared to be the correct international vehicle for Binoche based on Josephine Hart's novel and directed by veteran French director Louis Malle; however, the execution was marred by delays and dogged by rumors of serious conflict. Malle said that it was the "most difficult" film he had ever made in an on-site interview, while Binoche said that "the first day was a big deal." Damage began in 1992 and debuted on American televisions in 1993. The reviews were mixed. Binoche received her fourth César nomination for her work.

She appeared in Trondsztof Kielowski's Three Colours: Blue in 1993, bringing much critical acclaim. Three Colors: Blue is the first film in a trilogy influenced by the French republic's ideals and the colors of its flag. Despite being devastated, she learns to cope by rejecting her previous life in favour of a conscious "nothing"; she turns down all individuals, belongings, and emotions. Three Colors: Binoche received the Best Actress Prize at the 1993 Venice Film Festival, earning Binoche the Best Actress Award. She has also received a César award and a Golden Globe nomination. Binoche cited her inspirations for the role as her friend and mentor Vernice Klier, who suffered with the author's death at a young age, as well as Anny Duperey's book The Black Veil, which deals with the author's sorrow at losing her parents at a young age. In the other two films in Kielowski's trilogy, Binoche appeared in three films, Three Colours: White and Three Colours: Red. Steven Spielberg appeared in Jurassic Park and Schindler's List around this time. She denied both directions. Following the success of Three Colors: Blue, Binoche had a brief sabbatical in which she gave birth to her son Raphal in September 1993.

Binoche returned to film in 1995 in Jean Giono's The Horseman on the Roof, directed by Jean-Paul Rappeneau. The film was especially notable in France at the time because it was the country's most expensive film in history. Binoche was nominated for a César award for Best Actress around the world, and it was again nominated for a César for Best Actress. This role, as a romantic hero, was to influence many of her subsequent appearances in the late 1990s. Binoche appeared in her first comedic role since My Brother-in-Law Killed My Sister a decade ago; A Couch in New York was directed by Chantal Akerman and co-starred William Hurt. This screw-ball comedy tells the tale of a New York psychiatrist who swaps homes with a Parisian dancer. The film was both a critical and commercial failure. Binoche was offered the opportunity to work with renowned directors who had turned down during the long shooting of Les Amants du Pont-Neuf.

The English Patient's next role strengthened her position as an international film actress. The film, which was based on Michael Ondaatje's book and directed by Anthony Minghella, was a worldwide success. Juliette Binoche reunites Juliette Binoche with Ralph Fiennes, Heathcliff to her Cathy four years ago, produced by Saul Zaentz, creator of The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Binoche has said that the shooting in Tuscany and in Rome's famed Cinecittà was one of her best work experiences of her career. The film, which details the life of a young man who was discovered in a plane's wreckage during World War II, has received nine Academy Awards, including Best Support Actress for Juliette Binoche. Following Simone Signoret's win for Room at the Top in 1960, she became the second French actress to win an Academy with this film. After this international hit, Binoche returned to France and started working with Daniel Auteuil on Claude Berri's Lucie Aubrac, the true story of a French Resistance hero. Binoche was forced to be removed from the film six weeks into the shoot due to differences with Berri about the authenticity of his script. Binoche has described this event as "an earthquake" to her.

Binoche was reunited with director André Téchiné for Alice et Martin (1998), the story of a tragic Parisian singer and her younger lover who conceals a dark family mystery. Despite being critically acclaimed in the United Kingdom, the film struggled to find a following in France. Binoche made her London debut in February 1998 in a new version of Luigi Pirandello's Clothe the Naked, which was re-named Naked and adapted by Nicolas Wright. Jonathan Kent's production was very well-received. Following this awesome appearance, she returned to French screens with Children of the Century (1999), a major budget romantic epic in which she portrayed 19th-century French proto-feminist author George Sand in 19th-century French proto-feminism. Sand's affair with poet and dandy Alfred de Musset played by Benoît Magimel was depicted in the film. Binoche appeared in four distinct roles over the next year, each of which enhanced her fame. Patrice Leconte's La Veuve de Saint-Pierre (2000), which she was nominated for a César Award for Best Actress, was a period drama starring Binoche and Daniel Auteuil as a woman trying to rescue a condemned man from the guillotine. The film received raves, particularly in the United States, where it was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film.

She appeared in Michael Haneke's Code Unknown, a film that was made following Binoche's approach to the Austrian director. At the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, the film premiered. This critically acclaimed role was a welcome departure from being the romantic heroine in a string of costume dramas. Binoche made her Broadway debut in Harold Pinter's Betrayal, for which she was nominated for a Tony Award later this year. The Roundabout Theatre Company's production, as well as John Slattery, was produced by David Leveaux. Binoche was the heroine of Lasse Hallström's Chocolat, the best-selling book by Joanne Harris, and she was back on film. Binoche received the European Film Audience Award for Best Actress in Europe, as well as a BAFTA Award for her work. Chocolat is the story of a mysterious stranger who opens a chocolaterie in a French village in 1959. The film was a worldwide hit.

Binoche, the Lancôme perfume Poème's advertising star, was photographed by Richard Avedon, her image adorning print ads, and a television advertisement campaign, starring Anthony Minghella and scoring by Gabriel Yared. Critics were wondering if Binoche was the tragic, despairing muse by the time of this period and subsequent appearances in a number of high-profile films. Ginette Vincendeau pondered Binoche's persona in a British film criticism magazine called "The Erotic Face" in June 2000; Vincendeau said that the fixation of several directors on her face resulted in an age of her body; not as a versatile actress rather than a versatile actress.

After the success of Chocolat, Binoche became internationally known as an A-list movie star in the early 2000s, but her persona became more recognizable as an actor after a string of period roles starring a stoic heroine facing tragedy and desolation. Binoche returned to French cinema in 2002 in an unexpected role: opposite Jean Reno, she played a ditsy beautician. Daniele Thompson's film, which was also selected for a César Award for Best Actress, was a box office hit in France and Binoche was once more nominated for a César for Best Actress. The film follows the life of a couple who were separated at an airport during a strike. Initially, the two disliked each other, but over the course of a night, they find common ground and perhaps even love. When Binoche appeared in a 2003 Italian television commercial for Ferrero Rocher, this playful spirit remained. Binoche's advertisement featured her Chocolat persona giving out chocolates to people on the streets of Paris's people.

Binoche, a more serious type of actor, travelled to South Africa to make John Boorman's In My Country (2004) opposite Samuel L. Jackson. Following the demise of Apartheid in the mid-1990s, the film based on Antjie Krog's book Country of My Skull discusses the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) hearings. Despite the fact that the film premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2004, it was largely criticized for including a fictional romantic relationship and its portrayal of black South Africans. Despite the scathing reception, Binoche was incredibly enthusiastic about the film and her Boorman connection. Marion Stalens' sister, who travelled to South Africa to film La Reconciliation, which discusses the TRC process and follows Binoche's progress as she appears in Boorman's film. Binoche re-teamed with Michael Haneke for Caché next week. The film was a huge success, winning best director for Haneke at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival, with Binoche nominated for a European Film Award for Best Actress for her role. The film follows a bourgeois Parisian couple, played by Binoche and Daniel Auteuil, who begin to receive anonymous videotapes containing video footage shot over long stretches of their household, comparing the outside of their house. Caché then went on to place at number one on the "Top ten of the 2000s" list, which was released by The Times at the end of the decade.

Bee Season, Binoche's newest film, based on the celebrated book by Myla Goldberg, stars Richard Gere and Richard Gere. The film was not a hit at the box office, with less than $5 million worldwide. The film, although intelligent, was "distant and diffuse" for some commentators. The emotional breakdown of a family is depicted in Bee Season, right as their daughter starts to win national spelling bees. Binoche appeared in a somewhat unexpected collaboration with Abel Ferrara, a controversial American filmmaker, on an investigation into modern faith and Mary Magdalene's position in the Catholic Church, which was published in Mary (2005). Mary, starring Forest Whitaker, Matthew Modine, and Marion Cotillard, was a hit at the 2005 Venice Film Festival, winning the Grand Prix. Despite these accolades and glowing reviews, particularly those from the cultural publication Les Inrockuptibles, Mary was unable to find a distributor in key markets such as the United States and the United Kingdom.

Binoche appeared in the anthology film Paris in 2006, je t'aime appearing in a section directed by Japanese director Nobuhiro Suwa. Place des Victoires in Suwa is the tale of a grief-stricken mother who is able to spend a brief moment with her deceased son. Willem Dafoe and Hippolyte Girardot appear on the show as well as Willem Dafoe and Hippolyte Girardot. Je t'aime, a French tenor, was a huge success, grossing over $17 million at the world box-office in Paris. Binoche appeared at the Venice Film Festival in September, 2006, written and directed by Santiago Amigorena. Despite an impressive cast including John Turturro, Nick Nolte, and up-and-coming French actress Sara Forestier, the film was a failure. A Few Days in September is a drama set between 5 and 11 September 2001, in which Binoche plays a French undercover service agent who may or not have intelligence relating to imminent attacks in the United States. The film had been chastised in the press for its ostensible triviaization of the events of 11 September 2001. Binoche said in the UK that when promoting the film she believed the CIA and other government departments should have had foreknowledge of the 11 September attacks, as depicted in the film.

Binoche is headed to the Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of Breaking and Entering, her second film with Anthony Minghella in the director's chair, based on his first original screenplay since his debut film Truly, Madly (1991). Binoche played a Bosnian immigrant living in London, while Jude Law co-starred as a well-to-do businessman drawn into her life by an act of deception. Binoche visited Sarajevo, where she met women who had survived the 1990s war. Within the turbulence of urban renewal in inner-city London, Benoît Delhomme's book Breaking and Entering depicts intersecting lives. Despite being lauded for her appearance, Binoche's film didn't ring true for critics and failed to find an audience. "Binoche, physically unchanged as ever, enjoys Amira's controlled anarchy with ease," Todd McCarthy says in a review in Variety. Robin Wright, Vera Farmiga, Juliet Stevenson, Rafi Gavron, and Martin Freeman appeared on Breaking and Entering.

Although Binoche began the decade on a high note with an Academy Award nomination for Chocolat, she struggled to find roles that didn't restrict her to the tragic, melancholic persona of the 1990s. Despite Caché's worldwide success, several high-profile films such as In My Country, Bee Season, and Breaking and Entering all failed both technically and commercially. Binoche seemed to be at a crossroads in her career.

Binoche's career began in 2007 as she began to play in a number of critically acclaimed foreign films, giving her film career a fresh boost as she shed the restrictions that seemed to have stifled her career in the early part of the decade. The premiere of Flight of the Red Balloon (2007) by Taiwanese filmmaker Hou Hsien was held at the Cannes Film Festival. It was planned as a short film to be included in a 20th anniversary tribute to the Musée d'Orsay by Serge Lemoine, the museum's president. Hou turned it into a feature-length film and secured the necessary financing when the initial plan didn't succeed. International journalists lauded the film's debut around the world early in 2008. Hou's film The Red Balloon, Albert Lamorisse's 1957 short, tells the tale of a woman's attempts to balance her obligations as a single mother with her dedication to her work as a voice artist. The film, shot on location in Paris, was largely improvised by the cast. The film appeared in The Village Voice as number one on the influential critic J. Hoberman's "Top 10 List" for 2008.

At the 2007 Venice Film Festival, Amos Gitai premiered disengagement out-of-commission. Disengagement, starring Liron Levo and Jeanne Moreau, is a political drama tracing the life of a French woman of Dutch/Palestinian origins who is on the lookout for a daughter she lost 20 years ago on the Gaza strip. She arrives in Gaza after the 2005 Israeli disengagement. The film received the prestigious Premio Rossellini Award and was critically acclaimed, particularly by the eminent Cahiers du cinéma. However, the film in Israel was more controversial, and state television station Channel 1 blasted the film for "left-winging of Gitai's films."

In stark contrast, Peter Hedges co-wrote and directed Dan, a Disney-produced romantic comedy starring Binoche and Steve Carell. It was published in October 2007, making it a hit in the United States, before debuting around the world in 2008. At the global box office, the film grossed over $65 million. In Real Life Dan is a comic stripe that is immediately adores a woman (Binoche), only to learn she is the new girlfriend of his brother. Dane Cook, Emily Blunt, and Dianne Wiest appear in the film.

Binoche, a French immigrant, had a huge and fruitful success in Paris supervised by Cédric Klapisch. Paris is Klapisch's personal tribute to the French capital, including Romain Duris, Fabrice Luchini, and Mélanie Laurent. With a net revenue of over $22 million at the world box office, Paris was one of the most popular French films in recent years. Binoche and Klapisch were first discovered on the set of Mauvais Sang, where Klapisch was working as a set electrician.

Summer Hours (2008), directed by Olivier Assayas, is also in France. Three siblings are involved in the difficult process of disposing of their late mother's valuable art collection. The film premiered in France in March 2008 and made its American debut at the 2008 New York Film Festival before going on general release in the United States on May 19, 2009. The film was widely distributed and was nominated for the Prix Louis Delluc in France and appeared on numerous "Top ten lists," including first place on David Edelstein's "Top ten of 2009" list in New York magazine and J. R. Jones' list in the Chicago Reader. Charles Berling, Jérémie Renier, and Édith Scob were among the summer Hours.

Binoche appeared in a dramatic dance performance called in-i, co-created with respected choreographer Akram Khan in the fall of 2008. The performance, which told a love tale through dance and dialogue, was presented by Anish Kapoor, and Philip Sheppard's music. It premiered at the National Theatre in London before embarking on a world tour. "Binoche's physical growth is astounding: Khan is a master mover," the Sunday Times in the United Kingdom wrote. The project was part of a 'Binoche Season' titled Ju'Birlations, which also included a retrospective of her film work and an exhibition of her paintings, which were also included in a bilingual book Portraits in Eyes. Binoche as each of her characters and as any director she had worked with up to that time were included in the book. She also wrote a few lines to each director.

Binoche traveled to Tehran in April 2006 and again in December 2007, at the invitation of Abbas Kiarostami. She shot a cameo appearance in his film Shirin (2008), which she was shooting at the time, while he was on tour in 2007. When two Iranian MPs raised the issue in parliament, Binoche's visit became turbulent, we're advised that more caution be exercised in granting visas to international celebrities, which may lead to "cultural degradation." Binoche began work on Certified Copy directed by Kiarostami in June 2009. In the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, the film was a Official Selection. Binoche received the Best Actress Award at the festival for her appearance. On May 19, 2010, the film in France received overwhelmingly favorable feedback. Binoche becomes the first actress to win the European "best actor triple crown" at Cannes this year. The film's launch in the United Kingdom in September 2010 was overshadowed by French actor Gérard Depardieu's disparaging remarks about Binoche, including French actor Gérard Depardieu's "Please can you tell me what the mystery of Juliette Binoche is supposed to be." He continued, he said, that he was a narrator. "I would like to know why she has been so beloved for so many years." She has nothing; absolutely nothing. Binoche said in reaction, that he promotes Certified Copy, "I don't know him." You don't have to like everyone, and you can dislike someone's work. I don't know the [of his words] violence, but I don't know how [of his words]... I'm not sure why he's behaving like this. It's his problem." Certified Copy was among Kiarostami's homeland when Iranian authorities announced on May 27 that the film would not be banned in Iran, apparently due to Binoche's attire; however, deputy Culture Minister Javad Shamaqdari said that "if Juliette Binoche's clothes, it would have been banned in Iran, but there will not be a general screening," says Deputy Culture Minister Javad Shamaqdari; "if Juliette Binoche were better clad"
