Anouk Aimée, the Enigmatic Star

With a career spanning over 70 years, French film actor Anouk Aimée (1932-2024) appeared in over eighty films, working with the likes of George Cukor, Robert Aldrich, Marcel Carné and Jacques Prévert.

Starting her film career at the age of 13, she found her own voice with Fellini in La dolce vita (1960) and 8 ½ (1963), and then with Jacques Demy in Lola. She became an international sex symbol as the aloof, enigmatic and sensual star of Claude Lelouch’s 1966 Academy Award winning romance A Man and a Woman.

Ciné Lumière celebrates the late Aimée’s life in cinema with a handpicked selection of films from her iconic body of work.
