Academy Award-winner Juliette Binoche stars in the moving French drama Between Two Worlds, adapted from Florence Aubenas’ acclaimed novel The Night Cleaner. Directed by renowned author Emmanuel Carrère, Between Two Worlds follows a writer who goes undercover to expose the exploitation of working-class women.
Binoche plays famed author Marianne Winckler, who takes a job as a ferry cleaner to investigate the treatment of laborers in Northern France. As she bonds with her fellow cleaning women struggling to make ends meet, Marianne grapples with the ethics of her deception.
Having fought passionately for over a decade to bring this powerful real-life story to screen, Binoche delivers a riveting lead performance in Between Two Worlds. Carrère, making his long-awaited return to directing, deftly adapts Aubenas’ hard-hitting book into a moving drama.
With its timely themes of economic inequality and moral ambiguity, Between Two Worlds promises to resonate strongly. Propelled by Binoche’s intense performance and Carrère’s empathetic direction, the film provides a window into the unseen lives of working women.
