Hailey Bieber's Best Manicures Of All Time Are Some Serious Salon Inspo

Looking back on her 20s, Juliette Binoche refers to the characters she played as the “sorrowful sisters.” They were consumed by darkness and often molded by tragedy — from her breakout role in 1988’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being to a painter losing eyesight in The Lovers on the Bridge to a woman having an affair with her father-in-law in 1992’s Damage. And that doesn’t even account for the grieving widow in Three Colors: Blue, for which she’d win France’s highest acting award.

Her own life was “quite painful” at the time, she says. “When you start choosing roles at the beginning of your career, you usually go to characters who feel relatable to you,” Binoche tells Bustle.
