The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988)
With her first international film, Binoche immediately had the opportunity to deal with a personal author like Philip Kaufman and above all an actor of crystalline talent like Daniel Day Lewis. And she certainly doesn’t look out of place, far from it. With Lena Olin the three form an exceptional cast, which makes de The unbearable lightness of being a magnificent adaptation of Milan Kundera’s literary masterpiece. Oscar nomination for best non-original screenplay for a powerful, subtle, refined film in the manner of a filmmaker with an always particular vision. To be admired unconditionally.

The Lovers of the Pont-Neuf (1990)
After being directed by Léos Carax in the film that launched her, that is Blood redBinoche returns to collaborate with a visionary filmmaker thanks to a roaring melodrama, set in a Paris of almost dazzling beauty. Lovers of the Pont-Neuf it is thus transformed into an impossible, borderline love story that mixes the pain of living and romanticism with a narrative and aesthetic courage that was only possible in those years. Next to the protagonist a Denis Lavant precious and wild, which supports her in one of her most intense performances. Probably the cult title of Binoche’s entire filmography. Sensational and enveloping film. Available on Amazon Prime Video.
The Damage (1991)
Another excellent collaboration with the genius of Louis Malle in the adaptation of the novel Scandal by Josephine Hart. The damage sees the actress in an intense duet with Jeremy Irons, with whom he forms a sensationally sensual and painful pair of clandestine lovers. Her refined staging, restrained and sharp feelings for a film that is at times truly complex to sustain on an emotional level. Natasha Richardson wins the Oscar nomination for best supporting actress, excellent in supporting the capital performance of the two main actors. With an ending that still remains among the most heartbreaking in the history of contemporary cinema. Available on Amazon Prime Video.
Three Colors – Blue Film (1993)
Volpi Cup at Binoche and Golden Lion at the first chapter of the precious trilogy of Krzysztof Kieślowski. Three Colors – Blue Film it is a drama about loss and the processing of it that freezes in a filmic form of unprecedented composure and elegance, a union of form and content. Binoche’s performance conforms perfectly with the great filmmaker’s idea of cinema, managing to find a precious and beautiful balance in its fragility. A film of sensitivity that miraculously transforms into aesthetics. How great European auteur cinema was, this is a clear example. Available on Rakuten TV, KILOSGoogle Play, Apple iTunes, Amazon Prime Video.
Cosmopolis (2012)
Among Binoche’s many excellent collaborations we chose the one with the great David Cronenberg for one of his best films in the new millennium. Cosmopolis it is a hallucinatory and chilling journey into the madness of New York, elaborated above all through exciting sound work. The actress plays alongside an excellent Robert Pattinsonto Paul Gilove you, Kevin Durand and many other actors perfectly directed by the Canadian genius. Cosmopolis is a complex and repelling adaptation by De Lillo, but precisely for this reason impossible to ignore. Film that suffocates, strikes, entertains without compromise. Truly a work worthy of being completely re-evaluated. Available on Rakuten TV, Google Play, Apple Itunes, Amazon Prime Video, Rai Play.
