I Don’t Think It Was A Sin. Because It Didn’t Feel Like A Sin. It Felt Like I’m Supposed To Feel.

Which Juliette binoche films would you reccomend ?

ugh, pretty much her entire filmography is on spot but here we go: I first saw her in the unbearable lightness of being (1988); she’s exceptional in it, pure Juliette, pure brilliance, she made a perfect Teresa. I love the work of Philip Kaufman, I think he can never go wrong – I’d definitely recommend the film whether you’re familiar w Kundera’s novel or not. then i’d go with les enfants du siècle (1999) for it’s a period drama & it’s terribly underrated; again, her portrayal of George Sand is extraordinary to say the least & it spoke volumes about her potential as an actress. chocolat (2000) is another favourite of mine; it supremely just does it on all levels for me–makes me feel nostalgic over & over again. it’s lovely, lovely & she was so exquisite in it. however, when it comes to her best performances:  trois couleurs: bleu (1993) directed by kieslowki is sublime; best film out of the entire trilogy plus it just shows that Juliette clicked so much w her head director–I believe he brought out the best in her acting & what they achieved together is transcending aka this one’s poetry in motion, you can’t miss it, it’s moving and 100% raw. les amants du pont-neuf (1991) is nice; I was first introduced to the work of Carax w that one and although I came to love mauvais sang (1986) a lot more, still, this is good work and Juliette is kind of beating herself in her own game acting wise. top favourite of mine is also copie conforme (2010); it’s subtle, it’s Cannes at its best & it’s a tricky film; requires a lot of patience but communicates its images so efficiently. elles (2011) is my guilty pleasure, I won’t expand on it but I was head over heels when I first saw it so yeah…and words and pictures (2013) – ahh so, so, amazing…she co-stars w Clive Owen and the thing works because it’s just not overdone, it’s very American at the core of it but it still works Idk. 1.000 times goodnight (2013) – I’d recommend it any day for the cinematography is glorious and number one is camille claudel 1915 (2013) – to this day I haven’t seen a biography film which spoke more to my heart. wholly and unequivocably. I still can’t get my head around how superb it is and how majestic Juliette is in it.
