MIDNIGHT IN PARIS

Academy Award®-winner MARION COTILLARD (Adriana) is internationally renowned for her unbridled commitment to her art, challenging herself with each new role.

Recently, Cotillard was seen in Chris Nolan's INCEPTION, an original sci-fi action film that travels around the globe and into the intimate and infinite world of dreams. In the film, Cotillard stars opposite Leonardo DiCaprio, portraying his wife, ‘Mal.' The film's cast also includes Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe and Tom Hardy.

Currently, in the UK, Cotillard can be seen co-starring in Guillaume Canet's LITTLE WHITE LIES, which he also co-wrote. The film follows a successful restaurant owner and his eco-friendly wife who stage a grand vacation for friends at their beach house. The vacation leads to a moment when the mood sobers as characters begin to confess their innermost concerns. The film was released in France in October 2010 and was one of the country's highest grossing films of all time.

This fall, Cotillard will be seen in Steven Soderbergh's CONTAGION opposite Jude Law, Matt Damon and Kate Winslet. The action-drama is centered on the threat posed by a deadly disease and an international team of doctors contracted by the CDC to deal with the outbreak. Warner Bros. is releasing the film on October 21, 2011.

In 2008, Cotillard became the second French actress to ever win an Oscar®, and the first to win an acting award for a performance in the French language. The praise came for her riveting portrayal of legendary French chanteuse, Edith Piaf, in the film LA VIE EN ROSE. Of her performance, New York Times film critic Stephen Holden wrote, Cotillard gives "the most astonishing immersion of one performer into the body and soul of another I've ever encountered in film.” For her role, Cotillard also received a Best Actress BAFTA, Golden Globe® and César Award as well as a Screen Actors Guild and Critics Choice Award nomination. In addition, she was named Best Actress by critics organizations worldwide, including the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the London Film Critics Circle.

Cotillard's credits include the successful French TAXI film series, written by Luc Besson; Yann Samuell's LOVE ME IF YOU DARE; and Tim Burton's BIG FISH. She garnered her first César Award for Best Supporting Actress, for her performance in Jean-Pierre Jeunet's A VERY LONG ENGAGEMENT. Following that, she went on to star in Ridley Scott's A GOOD YEAR; Michael Mann's PUBLIC ENEMIES; and Rob Marshall's NINE, the screen adaptation of the hit musical. Her performance in the film brought her Golden Globe® and Critics' Choice Award nominations, and she also shared in a SAG Award® nomination for Outstanding Motion Picture Cast Performance.

In 2010, Cotillard was named a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters, for her contribution to the enrichment of French culture. Born in Paris, Cotillard studied drama at Conservatoire d'Art Dramatique in Orléans.
