biography

Feature film debut and triumph in Cannes

Séverine Caneele grew up in Bailleul-Nord-Est , in northern France, with nine brothers and sisters. As a child, she originally wanted to learn the job of a nurse and later do typical male jobs such as electronics technician or bricklayer. In fact, as an adult, she earned her living by changing jobs, such as a waitress or cleaning lady. In 1998 Caneele was working as a forklift driver in a textile mill in Bailleul when she responded to an advertisement from French director Bruno Dumont , who was looking for actors. Dumont was preparing his second feature film L'Humanité at the time, after he had already received critical praise for his award-winning first work La vie de Jésus , a social study of a group of unemployed youth in a provincial town in northern France. Like its debut film, L'Humanité is set in Bailleul and was exclusively cast with amateur actors. The film tells the story of Detective Inspector De Winter (played by Emmanuel Schotté ), a loner who believes in the good in people. After the accidental death of his family, he lives with his mother in Flanders and his view of the world begins to falter due to the brutal murder of an eleven-year-old girl. At the same time, De Winter is unhappy in love with his neighbor Domino, a factory worker, who, however, prefers sex with her boyfriend.

The film, which, like all of Dumont's works, combines sex and violence with the existential speechlessness of human relationships, premiered at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival in May 1999 . L'Humanité received mixed reviews, but surprised at the final award ceremony. While Dumont's film had to compete for the Palme d'Or the drama Rosetta Belgian director duo Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne admit defeat, but was the second most important award, the Jury Grand and the Best Actor Award award for Emmanuel Schotte. Séverine Caneele and the young Belgian Émilie Dequenne ( Rosetta ), also an amateur actress, received the award for Best Actress of the Film Festival from her idol Johnny Hallyday for the part of dominoes .

The decision by jury president David Cronenberg to award main prizes to smaller film productions and nameless actors was a scandal at the time and was commented on with whistles from the audience at the award ceremony. Caneele and Dequenne had prevailed against such renowned colleagues as Sissy Spacek ( A true story - The Straight Story ) or Catherine Deneuve ( Pola X and Die wiederfinde Zeit ). In Germany, the film opened in cinemas almost a year later, where Caneele's acting performance also moved into the focus of critics. The French woman succeeds in giving the assembly line worker Domino a brittle beauty and liveliness that overcomes the stylization of the film, according to the daily newspaper in its film review.

Continuation of the film career

After the triumph in Cannes, Séverine Caneele was a welcome guest on television programs such as Des mots de minuit , Tout le monde en parle (both on France 2 ) or Un jour en France ( France 3 ) and traveled around the world to present Dumont's film . However, she declined the offer to play a supporting role in a project by Dominique Cabrera and, unlike Émilie Dequenne, to take acting classes. While the author Michel Laforet Caneeles life story is accepted, and in 2000 under the title Aux marches du palais ( dt. : On the steps of the Palais ) released, she returned to her job back to North, where she briefly was released later. Caneele then married her partner Josian, a roofer, and their son Romain was born in the summer of 2000.

Caneele was working as a sorter and forklift driver in a food factory in Staden , Belgium , when, at the urging of documentary filmmaker Bénédicte Liénard (a former assistant to Raymond Depardon and Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne) and with the encouragement of her husband , she starred in Part of Heaven in 2002 took over. Liénard's drama tells of the factory worker Joanna who, after a rage, loses her job in a bakery factory and ends up in custody. When she has to do a monotonous assembly line job in prison, she begins to fight against the exploitation and oppression that prevails there. With Part of Heaven , Caneele was able to build on the success of her feature film debut. The Le Monde praised for their physical screen presence and the part of Joanna brought her the Best Actor Award at the Argentinean independent film festival of Buenos Aires one. However, Caneele continued to refuse to take acting classes. In 2004 she completed other film appearances with supporting roles in Yolande Moreau and Gilles Porte's award-winning love drama When the Flood Comes and Bertrand Tavernier's drama Holy Lola . After that, Caneele did not appear again until 2017 under the direction of Jacques Doillons in the artist biography Auguste Rodin at the side of Vincent Lindon as Rose Beuret, Auguste Rodin's wife .
