His recipe for love: expect nothing and give it your all
But what makes a “good wife”? The actress is the mother of two children, but has never been married. Think carefully before responding to reporters: “Be honest with yourself. This applies to both women and men. My philosophy for a relationship is to expect nothing and to give my best. That’s pretty difficult. “
The current film’s message is important to Binoche, in which, as the strict director of a boarding school for girls, she confronts the burgeoning feminism of 1968. “The film shows where we women come from. When I was a child I saw my mother have to free herself from this prison. “Binoche uses her fame for her commitment. This applies completely to the environment. She recently traveled with a delegation to the Pope to campaign for the protection of forests.” We are living in turbulent times. Instead of just thinking about our little life, our city and our country, we must be aware of what is happening on the other side of the planet. “
The longing to turn my back on the world
The actress is currently planning a documentary that will show the connections between global deforestation, species extinction and the pandemic.

There was no one else to help her, my sister was scared. As a result, we get closer. “
Binoche is famous for making movie after movie, the imposed break was good for her. “My daughter reminded me to take better care of myself.” That got her thinking. “Sometimes I feel the yearning to leave the world behind and hide in the country.” But she loves her job too much for that. “When I act, I can forget myself, and when you can do it together, it is much more beautiful.”
Convinced of the power of faith
Finally, the actress is asked about the most important meeting of her life. “My angel’s!” Arrives on time and without blinking. “Because he or she is always with me.” Binoche is convinced of the power of faith. “When you ask for something, you create space for immense creativity, which helps me to act.”
