Juliette Binoche Studied Acting At The Conservatoire National Suprieur DArt Dramatique CNSAD But
Her mother is of Polish descent. Her maternal Polish Catholic grandparents were imprisoned at Auschwitz because they were considered to be intellectuals by the Nazi occupiers. She studied acting at the Conservatoire National Supérieur d’Art Dramatique (CNSAD), but quit after a short time as she disliked the curriculum. Following this Binoche secured her first feature film appearance with a minor role in Pascal Kané’s Liberty Belle (1983). Godard requested a meeting with Binoche having seen a photo of her taken by her boyfriend of the time. Rendez-vous premiered at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival, winning Best Director. Following Rendez-Vous, she was unsure of what role to take next. She auditioned unsuccessfully for Yves Boisset’s Bleu comme l’enfer and Robin Davis’s Hors la loi, but was eventually cast in My Brother-in-law Killed My Sister (1986) by Jacques Rouffio opposite the popular French stars Michel Serrault and Michel Piccoli.
