I told him, Go ahead, do it': Juliette Binoche on how a strangling attack as a teen inspired her directorial debut
"After her breakthrough role in Jean-Luc Godard's Hail Mary, the actor became the toast of the European arthouse in the late 80s and broke through as an international star with roles in The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The English Patient and Chocolat. As well as leading some of the most celebrated films (in any language) of the 21st century to date (Michael Haneke's Cache, Abbas Kiarostami's Certified Copy), the past decade has brought some of Binoche's career-best work in the historical romance The Taste of Things, social realism drama Between Two Worlds and Let The Sunshine In."
Juliette Binoche, an Oscar-winning actor, prepares to introduce her directorial debut at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The documentary, In-I In Motion, uses a verite style to follow her late-2000s immersion in contemporary dance. Her collaboration with British dancer Akram Khan centers on daring, bewitchingly strange performances. Binoche considers how to present a film with a poetic and sometimes confusing nonlinear narrative to a sold-out audience. She reflects on her career, which spans experimental theater, auteur-driven international films, and occasional mainstream Hollywood work. Her public approach has rarely been about comforting audiences, and she weighs whether to warn viewers or let them engage freely.
