Romanian Actress Anamaria Vartolomei Expands Her Global Reach with Polyglot Slate
In a year filled with cinematic diversity, "The Seduction" star Anamaria Vartolomei is poised to captivate audiences worldwide with her polyglot slate. The Romanian-born actress, who won the César for Most Promising Actress for her breakout performance in Audrey Diwan's Venice Golden Lion winner "Happening," has lined up a diverse range of projects that will showcase her linguistic prowess.
First up is her French-language turn in Pathé's two-part historical epic "De Gaulle." The sprawling war saga, directed by Antonin Baudry, promises to be an ambitious and visually stunning film, with Vartolomei taking on the role of a fictionalized French Resistance fighter. When asked what drew her to the project, Vartolomei cited its global scope and artistic ambition, stating that she wanted to support French cinema's willingness to take risks.
Vartolomei will next star in Fanny Liatard and Jérémy Trouilh's arthouse fantasy "Les Yeux Verts," playing a young woman traveling through her brother's subconscious. The film's unique blend of fantasy, dreams, and effects has piqued Vartolomei's interest, as she appreciates the abstract approach to storytelling.
In between these French-language projects, Vartolomei will take on the lead role in Bill Pohlad's U.S. period romance "Miles & Juliette," alongside Damson Idris and Xavier Dolan. The film reimagines the 1949 romance between chanteuse Juliette Gréco and jazz legend Miles Davis, with production expected to begin later this year.
Vartolomei is excited about working in English again, particularly after her breakout performance in Bong Joon-ho's "Mickey 17." She hopes that her role as Juliette Gréco will give her the chance to sing, although she remains grounded, acknowledging that American projects can be challenging for foreign actors.
The Romanian actress is also circling an as-yet-untitled project, currently in final negotiations and eyeing a late 2026 shoot. She expressed admiration for contemporary Romanian filmmakers, including Cristian Mungiu and Emanuel Pârvu, who have recently completed "Fjord" with Sebastian Stan.
With her polyglot slate, Vartolomei is poised to explore new cinematic horizons while showcasing her linguistic abilities. As she navigates this exciting period in her career, one thing remains clear: Anamaria Vartolomei is an actress who is eager to take risks and push boundaries, both on-screen and behind the camera.
