The 58-year-old interpreter, “an indisputable benchmark of European cinema”, will receive “the International Goya on February 11” at the Spanish film awards gala, which will be held in Seville (south).
The award is given for the second year, and in the last edition it went to the actress Cate Blanchett.
On this occasion, it is awarded to Binoche for “her extraordinary career that places her as one of the most admired and recognized names in European and international cinema.”
Throughout his four decades of career, Binoche has participated in dozens of films, such as “The Unbearable Lightness of Being”, “Lovers of the Pont-Neuf”, or “The English Patient”, for which he won the Oscar for the best supporting actress.
In addition, she has been distinguished with the French César, the British Bafta and the acting awards at the Cannes, Berlin and Venice festivals, as well as the Donostia Award at the San Sebastian Festival.
Born in Paris in 1964, she has worked under directors such as Jean-Luc Godard, Leo Carax, Louis Malle, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Anthony Minghella and David Cronenberg.
