The plot, like that of the novel, highlights the troubled love affair between the sweet but spoiled Catherine (Juliette Binoche) and the dark and passionate Heathcliff (Ralph Fiennes).

Second on our list, in chronological order, is Three Colors – Blue Film, shot in 1993. This film is part of a trilogy that Polish director Krzysztof Kieślowski decided to shoot in honor of the French flag. In this dramatic story, which won her the prize for best female interpretation, Juliette Binoche plays Julie, a wife and mother who has to deal with the loss of her family.

The plot revolves around the destructive love affair between nurse Hana and the Hungarian count László Almásy.

Obviously the fourth film that you cannot miss seeing is the wonderful, romantic and sweet (in every way) Chocolat from 2000. Juliette Binoche and the wonderful Johnny Depp will disturb the quiet and monotonous, apparently idyllic life of a village provincial.
