Born in Paris in 1993, French actress Adèle Exarchopoulos began her film career as a teenager, but was catapulted onto the world stage in 2013 with her raw and unforgettable performance in Abdellatif Kechiche's film Blue is the Warmest Color (La Vie d'Adèle – Chapitres 1 & 2). For this role, which explored the discovery of love and heartbreak with an almost documentary-like vulnerability, she achieved a historic feat: at just 19, she became the youngest person ever to receive the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, an award she shared with her co-star Léa Seydoux and director Kechiche. This triumph established her as one of the most magnetic and naturalistic actresses of her generation. Since then, she has built an eclectic filmography in arthouse cinema, collaborating with directors such as Sean Penn (The Last Face), Michaël R. Roskam (Le Fidèle), and Quentin Dupieux (Mandibules), leading to acclaimed roles in Rien à foutre (2021), Les Cinq Diables (2022) and Passages (2023), cementing her reputation for intense performances that live in the immediacy of the moment.
