Juliette Binoche – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · July 13, 2026

The English Patient earned the Oscar, but Three Colors: Blue shows her at her most internal, Certified Copy and Clouds of Sils Maria mark a more experimental period, and The Taste of Things proves her range hasn’t narrowed. Camille Claudel is an early acclaimed role as the tormented sculptor, The Truth confronts a daughter with her famous, difficult mother, Cosmopolis is a brief role opposite Robert Pattinson, and The Taste of Things follows a devoted cook. The Unbearable Lightness of Being and Chocolat round out the list.
