The Belgian Wonder Playing pivotal parts in 4 diverse and exciting European films in 2007, Jeremie Renier is one of today's busiest young actors. He may not be too familiar to the American movie-going audience but he has his share of triumphs both in the box office and in the awards arena all over Europe. - - -
- - - Award-winning roles: Appearing in the award winning L'Enfant, which won the Palm d'Or in Cannes, Renier played Bruno, a young thief who, together with his barely legal girlfriend Sonia (Deborah François) hustle and get involved in petty crimes to help support their newborn baby. After finding it difficult to make both ends meet, he sold his child but changed his mind later. It was a very effective performance by Renier, one which earned him a nomination as Best European Actor for the European Film Awards. Says Sheila Benson @Interview:

“The performance by Jeremie Renier is up there with anything Roddy McDowell did as a young actor.” Says one critic. The film went on to win at the Cannes.

- - - Profile of Jeremie Renier written by Jed Medina for the Movie-Fanatic. All Rights Reserved 2007 worldwide. Born in Brussels, Jeremie studied acting at the Retine du Plateau and appeared for the first time in film at the age of 10. Having been directed by some of Europe's top directors including Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardennes' and Francois Ozon, Renier has an impressive acting resume, that includes a list of more than 15 films- an impressive record for one so young.In Les Amants Criminels (The Criminals), Renier played Luc, a naive young teen who was manipulated by his girlfriend into killing another teen. Directed by Francois Ozon, the film rose above mediocrity due to the young actors' performances and Ozon's directorial authority, steering the movie into higher grounds. Remarks Ms. Benson: It puts Renier, 18, squarely onto the international stage and into a series of even wider-ranging roles… With his rising popularity after the film, Renier then appeared on the cover of Tetu'. Upcoming roles: Shedding his image as a young teenager, Jeremie now focuses his energy in playing more matured roles, including President, and Private Property (Nue propriété). Aside from these films, Renier will also star with Gaspard Ulliel and Vera Farmiga (The Departed) in a film to be directed by Niki Caro (North Country, Whale Rider). |
