Career
[edit]Sagnier was born in La Celle-Saint-Cloud, in the département of Yvelines, France. Her mother is a retired secretary and her father is a professor of English at the University of Paris.[1]
She made her film debut at the age of nine in Les Maris, les Femmes, les Amants, (1989) directed by Pascal Thomas. She had other small roles in the early 1990s, being directed by Alain Resnais and in Jean-Paul Rappeneau's Cyrano de Bergerac with Gerard Depardieu.
In 1994 she went to study at the Versailles Conservatoire, where she won a prize in classical music. Her return to cinema saw her gain commercial and critical success, notably in films directed by François Ozon. His musical comedy 8 Women (2002) was awarded acting prizes for Sagnier and her seven co-stars collectively.
The next year she starred alongside Charlotte Rampling in Ozon's psychological thriller Swimming Pool, a role which again garnered her nominations and prizes. Other notable films she has appeared in include Peter Pan, as Tinkerbell, and the crime thriller Mesrine: Public Enemy No.1.
Three films starring Sagnier screened in Los Angeles in 2011 where Sagnier was in attendance at all three screenings. Pieds nus sur les limaces (Lily Sometimes) was shown at the City of Angels, City of Light Festival in April. Love Crime and The Devil's Double were shown at the Los Angeles Film Festival in June.[2] Also that year, Sagnier appeared in Beloved with Catherine Deneuve and Chiara Mastroianni.
Sagnier starred as Esther Aubry in the 2016 English-language drama series The Young Pope. She reprised the role in the follow-up miniseries The New Pope, released in 2020. Sagnier plays Claire in the French thriller series Lupin, which premiered on Netflix in January 2021.
Personal life
[edit]In 2005, Sagnier gave birth to a daughter, with her then boyfriend, actor Nicolas Duvauchelle.[3] She is in a relationship with director Kim Chapiron, with whom she has two daughters (born 2009 and 2014).[4]
