Biography
As a hopeful actress, Sophie Guillemin hoped to make pocket money by applying for minor roles in the cinema. She happened to stumble into the cast of Cédric Kahn, who had been searching for the female main character of his film L'Ennui, the adaptation of La noia de Moravia, for the past two years. The role earned her a César nomination in 1999 in the best new female category.
Gérard Lefort, journalist at Libération, wrote about Sophie Guillemin: "having sent a video essay to the casting of L'ennui, Sophie Guillemin has established herself by exploiting her "body of Venus and her soul of Greek antiquity".
Very quickly she went on to make films; comedies: On fait comme on a dit with Gad Elmaleh, Jeanne Labrune's Ça ira mieux demain with Nathalie Baye ; social dramas: Du côté des filles with Clémentine Célarié, and thrillers : À la folie... pas du tout,where she played the best friend of Audrey Tautou, as well as Harry Harry, un ami qui vous veut du bien. In this film, released in 2000, she plays the sensual girlfriend of Sergi Lopez, role for which she will be nominated again for the César for Best Upcoming Female.
