On this occasion I would like to focus on her notable films with Claude Chabrol a leading pioneer of French New Wave! In this includes women centric films based on true stories.. 'Violette Noziere' (1978) & 'Story of Women' (1988). And a popular film 'Madame Bovary' (1991) on classic French novel by Gustove Flaubert!

She won 'Best Actress' award in 'Cannes Film Festival' for her role in 'Violette Noziere' and got 'Best Actress' award twice in.. 'Venice Film Festival' for her roles in 'Story of Women' and 'La Ceremonie' (1995) made by Chabrol. And for 'Madame - Bovary' she won 'Best Actress' award in 'Mosco International Film Festival'!..This famous role rated her as one of the most accomplished actresses of world cinema!!

Congratulation to her on 'IFFI's honour!!
