Film career
Her first film, This Obscure Object of Desire (1977), which was also Luis Buñuel's last film , was an international success and attracted Bouquet's attention.

After other successful films such as Tango Mortale (1993), Love and Other Businesses (1994) and Wasabi - A Bull in Japan (2001), she appeared in a guest role in the last episode of the television series Sex and the City in 2004 . For the lead role in the film A Long Way to Happiness , she was awarded Best Actress at the Stockholm International Film Festival in 2005.
In 2014 she starred alongside Zoe Saldana in the role of Margaux Castevet in the miniseries Rosemary's Baby , a remake of the 1968 film of the same name . In 2017 she played a leading role in the French miniseries La Mante .
