Madrid: Spain’s biggest film awards, the Goyas, will honour French star Juliette Binoche later this month, the Spanish Film Academy announced on Wednesday.

On February 11, in the southern city of Seville, an International Goya will be presented to the 58-year-old, according to a release.

In “The English Patient,” for which she received an Oscar, and other movies that helped her become a household name, the academy praised Binoche for her “amazing trajectory.”

Her status as “one of the most admired and recognisable names in European cinema” was also praised.

At the previous year’s film awards, the film academy gave famed Australian star Cate Blanchett its first-ever International Goya.

In her four-decade-long career, Binoche, who was born in Paris in 1964, has collaborated with renowned filmmakers like David Cronenberg of Canada and Jean-Luc Godard, the creator of France’s New Wave cinema.
