Juliette Binoche, the world's greatest living actress according to me (sorry Isabelle Huppert, I do go back and forth, but Juli is love), was in NYC last evening at MoMA to show off her directorial debut In-I In Motion, a documentary she and her sister made about a dance performance that Juli created and performed in 2007 with the choreographer Akram Khan, and I was there because she's Juliette fucking Binoche and I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Above are some photos and videos I took from the Q&A. I thought the doc was terrific but then I cannot be trusted as I could literally just stare at Binoche's face for ten hours straight and never get bored -- she remains utterly transfixing. The first question my boyfriend asked when I got home afterwards was if she cried, and SHE DID -- she knows her audience. She teared up several times during the Q&A because her emotions really are just like Right There at all times and I don't know how exhausting that must be for her but we are all the richer for it. Incredibly this was Binoche's first time ever being on stage at MoMA, a fact that blows my mind -- I have been in her holy presence before at NYFF but this was special all the same. A legend.
