The beautiful French actress Juliette Binoche turns 48 today. How is it that these actresses stay looking so young? I LOVED her in the movie Chocolat (2000). I loved Vianne’s spirit, her shop with delicious looking chocolate and her good taste in men (Johnny Depp never looked sexier). I thought she was luminous and magical. I HATED everything about The English Patient (1996) so I can’t really blame her completely, but I made myself and Jason suffer through the movie and I celebrated when it was finished. I’m obviously in the minority here since she did take home an Oscar for Supporting Actress.
So, I’d like to take a poll – What’s your favorite and/or least favorite Juliette Binoche film? Complete list here.
FAVORITE
4 for Chocolat (Beth, Nise, Stephanie, Stacy)
(Yes, this idea probably came to me because of Alyce’s Best & Worst author series)
Stacy's Books 
I’m with you, I loved her in CHOCOLAT the best.
I agree with Chocolat! I liked her in Wuthering Heights. One year I rented all versions available of the movie. This was a good one, a couple of them were so bad!
Hard for me to chime in as I think I’ve only seen The English Patient. Still, I think I might have seen in her in something else as I have some recognition of her. It couldn’t just be from that movie.
I loved The English Patient! But Chocolat comes out on top because, well, chocolate. Need I say more?
I did love her in Chocolat but she was good in Dan in Real Life too!!!
I don’t think I can really make an informed choice since the only movie of hers that I’ve seen was The English Patient.
“The English Patient”….? Don’t remind me (LOL).
I had the same reaction during the movie, “Seinfeld”‘s Elaine had: DIE ALREADY!
