Sabine Azéma
Since the 1970s, Sabine Azéma has distinguished herself in all genres, at ease both in comedies and in more serious roles. She has collaborated with many directors, from Bertrand Tavernier to
Étienne Chatiliez and is the winner of three Césars. An essential actress in Alain Resnais’s filmography, she remained the muse of the great filmmaker until his death.
