Biography

Sara Forestier's artistic inclinations were evident from a young age, with a passion for creative expression manifesting itself in various forms. Writing, painting, and acting were all activities that brought her immense joy, and it was only natural that she would eventually pursue a career in the latter.

At the tender age of thirteen and a half, Forestier made the bold decision to accompany a friend to an audition, a move that would ultimately prove to be the catalyst for her entry into the world of acting. With remarkable talent and poise, she impressed casting directors and secured her first minor roles in films and television movies.

As her career began to take shape, Forestier's determination and dedication to her craft earned her the attention of influential artistic agents. She continued to land minor parts in various projects, honing her skills and building her reputation as a talented young actress.

However, it was her breakout role in L'Esquive that truly cemented her status as a rising star. Directed by Abdellatif Kechiche, the film did not initially seem like an ideal vehicle for Forestier's talents, as the director had specifically sought out unknown actors for the project. Nevertheless, her exceptional talent and convincing performances managed to win over Kechiche, earning her the leading female role in the film.

The movie's success and Forestier's critically acclaimed performance marked a significant turning point in her career, with offers pouring in from various filmmakers and producers. She has since appeared in a range of films, solidifying her position as a versatile and talented actress.

Forestier's latest project is a film adaptation of Lolita Pille's novel, Hell, in which she will star alongside Nicolas Duvauchelle. The highly anticipated film promises to be another showcase for Forestier's impressive range and acting abilities, further cementing her status as one of the most exciting young actresses in the industry today.
