I also love Binoche, Huppert, Delpy, and Fanny Ardant.<br /><br />Like Dimi said, Clemence Poesy is the young French actress who I want to see more of. I couldn't believe the actress in "In Bruges" was the same one who'd played Fleur in Harry Potter. She's so exquisitely beautiful and yet full of energy and surprises.<br /><br />I'd say the French actress of the moment though is Charlotte Gainsbourg. And deservedly so.adrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-53981910295906504672009-08-16T12:17:14.075-04:002009-08-16T12:17:14.075-04:00I don't think Marion Cotillard will be disappe...I don't think Marion Cotillard will be disappearing anytime soon, what she has going for her is Hylda Quelley A.K.A Agent to Winslet and Blanchett and Cruz.johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-13072995370879009662009-08-15T23:10:02.035-04:002009-08-15T23:10:02.035-04:00wow

Oh my God did I seriously forget Binoche..<br /><br />Also, I concur that very soon something great might become of the spawn of Catherine Deneuve and Marcello Mastroianni. She's already given one sublime performance in A Christmas Tale.

Now, she's not quite on the level of Devos, Adjani, Huppert, or even Beart quite yet, but I feel comfortable in predicting that she'll get there. She's got such a light sadness surrounding her (Love Songs, A Christmas Tale being the obvious examples). Anne Consigny from the same film was defiantly intriguing.<br /><br /> I was glad to see Y Kant Goran Rite mention Devos. Read My Lips is so awesome and that's largely due to her sensational work (2002 was nuttsily awesome for actresses). Kings and Queen... also terrific.<br /><br /> Isabelle Carerre was wonderful in PRIVATE FEARS IN PUBLIC SPACES, but so was virtually everyone.<br /><br /> Valeri Bruni-Tedeschi is awesomely ageless and sublimely brilliant. How she sketches out her character in TIME TO LEAVE is something marvelous to behold.<br /><br /> And while she's not a professional actress yet, I think Rachel Regulier's work in THE CLASS is absolutely amazing (she's Koumba). She doesn't even have an imdb page but I hope she gets cast regularly in upcoming French films.<br /><br /> And Hafsia Herzi.Arkaannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-54959234797614363322009-08-15T04:27:17.741-04:002009-08-15T04:27:17.741-04:00I lied!

I obviously love her in <i>La belle noiseuse</i>, an epic masterpiece, but she's possibly even better in Rivette's lesser-known later film with her, <i>The Story of Marie and Julien</i>. It's an utterly mysterious, strangely charming film, very quiet and eerie. It's something of a ghost story, with Beart as a very entrancing ghost. <br /><br />Chabrol's <i>L'enfer</i> isn't great overall, but Beart's performance -- a bouncy, cartoonishly sexy tour de force -- is breathtaking.Ed Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014222247676090467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-80240238634043561222009-08-15T00:11:58.917-04:002009-08-15T00:11:58.917-04:00I'd have to say I'm obsessed with Clémence...I'd have to say I'm obsessed with Clémence Poésy right now (or rather, I WAS, when In Bruges came out over a year ago).

But this isn't to say anything against Beart. Beart is lovely and moody and compelling and perennially naked as ever (do you think she just unhooks the bra soon as she signs a contract? I've yet to see a Beart film where her puppies don't turn in a gratuitous appearance. Even in an 80s Aids drama about gay male lovers, she finds a way to whip 'em out. Applaud this woman!)<br />But through the entirety of Arnaud Desplechin's output as well as Read My Lips and her oh-so-charming bit part in The Beat That My Heart Skipped, Devos has entered and repeatedly risen within my personal pantheon. I now look forward to her appearance in films even more intensely than I do to Huppert's or Deneuve's or Adjani's.<br />Speaking of Adjani - there's another staggering, freakishly talented from a young age, ageless goddess that's all but disappeared from international screens.Y Kant Goran Ritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03058411467996289416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1187087459904336292009-08-14T22:10:49.121-04:002009-08-14T22:10:49.121-04:00"Hasn't Zhang Ziyi essentially disappeare..."Hasn't Zhang Ziyi essentially disappeared already?"
