Juliette Binoche (; born 9 March 1964) is a French actress. She has appeared in more than 60 films, particularly in French and English languages, and has been the recipient of numerous accolades, including an Academy Award, a British Academy Film Award and a César Award.

Binoche first gained recognition for working with such auteur directors as Jean-Luc Godard (''Hail Mary'', 1985), Jacques Doillon (''Family Life'', 1985), and André Téchiné; the latter made her a star in France with a leading role in his drama ''Rendez-vous'' (1985). She won the Volpi Cup and César Award for Best Actress for her performance as a grieving music composer in Krzysztof Kieślowski's ''Three Colours: Blue'' (1993) and the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for playing a nurse in ''The English Patient'' (1996). For starring in the romantic film ''Chocolat'' (2000), Binoche received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress. In 2010, she won the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress for her role as an antiques dealer in Abbas Kiarostami's ''Certified Copy''. Binoche has since starred in such films as ''Clouds of Sils Maria'' (2014), ''High Life'' (2018), ''The Taste of Things'' (2023) and ''The Return'' (2024).

Binoche has appeared on stage intermittently, most notably in a 1998 London production of Luigi Pirandello's ''Naked'' and in a 2000 production of Harold Pinter's ''Betrayal'' on Broadway for which she was nominated for a Tony Award. In 2008, she began a world tour with a modern dance production ''in-i'' devised in collaboration with Akram Khan. Provided by Wikipedia
