Eva Green: filmography and roles

French film actress Eva Green (Eva Gael Green), was born July 5, 1980 in Paris. Her family (in Green's terms) was moderately bourgeois, her father was Walter Green, a Frenchman of Swedish descent, a dentist, his mother Marlene Jober, a philologist, a specialist in children's literature. Eve was educated at the American University in Paris at the English Language Department. However, the future of the girl was determined after she at the age of 14 saw the film François Truffaut's "The Story of Adele G" with Isabelle Adjani in the title role. Young Eva Green, whose growth and external data fully corresponded to the "star" parameters, decided to become an actress.

The first films

The first steps in her artistic career, Green did in the theater, and her film debut took place only in 2003 in the film "Dreamers" directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. Eva Green, whose filmography was in anticipation of her first film, played a major role, student Isabel. In the center of the plot are the sexual experiments of three young people. The next film, in which Eva Green participated, was a historical epic titled "The Kingdom of Heaven" directed by American director Ridley Scott. This picture made the young actress popular. And after the release of Martin Campbell's "Casino Royale" with agent 007 (the role of James Bond's next girlfriend), actress Green became really famous. Her career, Eva Green, whose filmography already contained several pictures, continued in Hollywood.

"The Golden Compass"

One of the most interesting works of Eva Green was a fantastic fairy tale "The Golden Compass" in which the actress played the witch Serafina Pekkala, ruling the northern skies. The role was associated with flights above the ground, not allowing the participation of understudies, as well as shooting fairly large plans. And because Eve was afraid of heights, she was constantly shaking with fear, but overall the film was a success and even received an Oscar for best visual effects. In the same year, Eve almost got a role in the film "Family Secret", but it was preceded by another French actress - Cecile de France.

The first failure

Another film called "Antichrist" Eva Greene, whose filmography no longer needed middle-class films, refused herself because of disagreements with the director Lars von Trier. In 2009, the actress played the role of the mentally unbalanced girl Emilia. The picture did not have any haste, the critic Derek Elli explained the failure of the film by the fact that Eva was not able to convincingly play the split personality of the heroine. Then the actress took part in the historical TV series "Camelot", where she performed the role of Morgana, Arthur's sister.

Controversial Actresses

The 2009 film "Cracks" in the production of Jordan Scott, where Eve acted as a young teacher Miss G, was not added to the actress of popularity, but gave her the opportunity to feel the depth of acting. Then in 2010, the picture "Wreath" was made, filmed in 2010 by Hungarian director Benedek Fligauf, in which Eva Green performed the role of Rebecca, which caused mixed criticism. The opinions of film critics were divided, some argued that the plot of the film is quite logical, others said that the plot of the picture is far-fetched and too fantastic. The next film featuring Eva Green, titled "The Last Love on Earth" was filmed in 2011 by Scottish director David Mackenzie. The fantastic plot did not make impression, and the picture failed.

Johnny Depp

In the same 2011, Eva Green, whose filmography already included two tales, once again became a witch, winning the role of Angelica Bouchard in the tragic comedy "The Dark Shadows". On set, the actress first met with Johnny Depp, who at that time was already a recognized Hollywood star. Evident signs of a love alliance between him and Eve, no one noticed, but rumors about it went. In addition, Johnny Depp soon divorced Vanessa Paradis.

Personal life

The personal life of Eva Greene was constant, and in 2004 she met on the set of the movie "Kingdom of Heaven" with Marton Chokash, a regular participant in films in the style of fantasy. Their relationship lasted for five years, until 2009, when the happy couple broke up. From time to time, the actress Eva Greene complains about herself in her interviews, she says, she is cold and unapproachable in relationships with others, and the actress became to be able to wear a mask in certain life situations. Sometimes an actress is nostalgic for the theater, she is convinced that only on the stage of the theater can there be a true reincarnation. And the cinema is too opportunistic, the initiative and creative impulses of the actors are destroyed in the bud.

Eva Green and Hollywood

About Hollywood Eva Green responds as an overly influential structure in which there is no place for art. Directors perform the order, the actors do what they order, and the whole of the film empire is governed by His Majesty the Cash Collection. Nevertheless, the personal achievements of the actress are impressive, according to Empire magazine, Eva Green is recognized as the sixth in the rating "The sexiest movie star of all time", and in 2011 the actress took 18th place in the list of "The most beautiful women of cinema". Movies with Eva Green are popular mainly thanks to the beautiful appearance of the actress.
