When renowned actress Maria Enders (Binoche) is cast opposite a young Hollywood starlet with a penchant for scandal (Moretz), tensions rise as she must come to terms with what it means to be an actress in a youth-obsessed industry.  As she prepares with her assistant (Stewart) for the most challenging role of her life, Maria must confront her personal demons in this captivating film.

Clouds of Sils Maria was nominated for the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, won the International Cinephile Society Cannes Awards for Best Actress (Binoche) and Best Screenplay (Assayas), and won the Prix Louis Delluc award for Best Film.  Additionally, Stewart’s performance earned her France’s coveted César Award for Best Supporting Actress, making her the first American to win the prize.
