Charlotte Gainsbourg is remembered in film for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Charlotte Gainsbourg as French and British actress and singer (born 1971).
Charlotte Gainsbourg was born at Marylebone in 1971. Her recorded nationality is the United Kingdom. She was educated at École Jeannine Manuel.
Modern careers are conducted in public and at speed, with reputations formed and revised far faster than the work itself changes.
The record gives her occupations as actor, singer and film screenwriter.
Her principal work is Nymphomaniac. The screen flattens effort: a performance that took months reads as a few unhurried minutes.
Her work was formally recognised with the Victoires de la Musique – Female artist of the year, César Award for Best Female Revelation and César Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Working from the United Kingdom shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have her, the language the work first appeared in.
Charlotte Gainsbourg is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
