Liza Foreman “You have to know how to reject roles so as not to enter into a system in which women are only seen in a certain way,” said French actor Juliette Binoche on Sunday.
Binoche spoke up for women whilst answering questions from the press at the San Sebastián Film Festival where she is a recipient this year of the festival’s Donostia Award, as a tribute to her career. “The English Patient” star is a go-to actress for a slew of auteur directors, including Krzysztof Kieślowski and Claire Denis.
Denis joined her on stage to discuss “Both Sides of the Blade,” a love triangle film co-starring Binoche, which will screen at the festival before the award’s presentation. “Both Sides of the Blade” also stars Vincent Lindon and Grégoire Colin. “You have to go instead to the new.
And you have to jump into the unknown and work outside of macho codes,” continued Binoche. Talking about her experience working in the U.S., Binoche, who spoke in French, added: “In American cinema it has sometimes happened to me that they call me to be ‘the wife of’ and then say ‘no’ because I’m not interested,” said Binoche who arrived in a casual suit looking natural in little make-up. “Growing old in front of the camera is a challenge, it forces you to be truthful,” she said.
