Juliette Binoche

2018

Actor

Göteborg Film Festival proudly presented the recipient of the 2018 Honorary Dragon Award: Juliette Binoche. The actor visited Göteborg Film Festival to accept the honorary prize and host a Masterclass. Binoche also contributed to the festival’s Bergman centenary celebrations by selecting Scenes from a Marriage for a retrospective screening.

With roles in The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The English Patient, Three Colours: Blue, and The Lovers on the Bridge, she established herself early on as one of the very best. Now, with around 70 film roles behind her, Juliette Binoche is one of the greatest actors of our time.

– “First and foremost, I would like to thank Göteborg Film Festival for this honorary award! I see it as a wink, a pat on the back, or even a hug! It’s almost as though I hope the award isn’t too serious. I feel incredibly fortunate to work in this profession, to still have the joy of feeling the same passion for my craft, and also to feel that I have so much left to learn,” said Juliette Binoche.

Juliette Binoche visited Göteborg Film Festival from 2–4 February 2018 and received the honorary award at the Dragon Award Gala on 3 February. Read our interview with her here.
