Juliette Binoche has taken over Karlovy Vary.
“An icon is here,” said the festival’s artistic director Karel Och, welcoming her to the stage.
In town to pick up the Crystal Globe for Outstanding Artistic Contribution to World Cinema, Binoche also presented her directorial debut “In-I in Motion.”
In the documentary, she reveals everything that went into the making of dance-theater stage production of “In-I,” focusing on her intense collaboration with British dancer-choreographer Akram Khan.
“Once upon a time, I was in London and I was lying face down, being massaged by Su-Man Hsu. She asked me: ‘Do you want to dance?’ And I said yes,” she recalled. She ended up going to Khan’s show.
