biography

Sarah Grappin was discovered in 1994 by Alain Corneau , who was going to a high school casting for the female lead in his film Le Nouveau Monde (1995). She got the role in the melodrama and played the part of Marie-José at the side of Alicia Silverstone and James Gandolfini , who, together with her childhood friend Patrick (played by amateur actor Nicolas Chatel ) in Orléans around 1959, followed the lifestyle of the American stationed there Soldiers emulate. Three years later she played Sophie in Olivier Péray's award-winning tragic comedy Schule der Verführung (1998) alongside Vincent Elbaz and Bruno Putzulu and has since appeared regularly in French cinema and television productions, mainly in dramas.

In the late 1990s, Grappin was featured in international film and television productions with an episode in the British crime series The Bill and Jian-zhong Huang's Chinese period drama My 1919 , but it wasn't until 2002 that she achieved her breakthrough as an actress with Jacques Maillot's drama Froid comme l ' été , with whom she had already worked on the romantic film Nos vies heureuses in 1999. In the television film produced by ARTE , Grappin slips alongside Nathalie Richard in the role of a single, lonely young mother who one day leaves the desolate Parisian suburban life and her eighteen-month-old child behind to spend a few days by the sea, with fatal consequences. The role of irresponsible Rachel, based on an authentic case, earned her the actor's award at the fourth edition of the Festival de la Fiction TV in Saint-Tropez and the praise of the critics who rated her performance as “great”, “enigmatic” and “ immaculate ”. Likewise, the subject of the film sparked a debate in France about so-called raven mothers . Three years later, the film was equally successfully broadcast by ARTE in Germany under the title Mutterseelenallein .

Parallel to her film and television career, Sarah Grappin took two years of acting lessons, began studying literature at the Sorbonne in Paris and was able to build on the success of Froid comme l'été in 2003 with Bruno Bontzolaki's film production Je t'aime, je t'adore . The part of the immature Manuel Blanc's hopeful, pregnant friend , who indulges in her free sexuality with a lifeguard (played by Clovis Cornillac ), praised the French critics as "discreetly authentic" and one of the strengths of an otherwise rather short of breath film. In 2004 her Je t'aime, je t'adore, along with Eva Green ( Die Träumer ), among others , earned her a nomination for the prestigious Prix ​​Michel-Simon award for young actors , which was awarded to Stéphanie Michelini ( Wild Side ) and Lola Naymark ( Die Perlenstickerinnen ) has been. In 2005 Grappin was part of Robert Guédiguians' acting ensemble with the César award-winning biopic Last Days at the Elysée , in which Michel Bouquet slipped into the role of the late French President François Mitterrand (1916–1996). In 2007 she starred for the third time, directed by Jacques Maillot, in the crime drama Les Liens du sang (2008), in which François Cluzet and Guillaume Canet mime two rival brothers vying for the favor of their families.
