Carine Tardieu’s “L’Attachement” winning the C\u00e9sar for Best Film makes her one of the few, becoming only the sixth woman in the event’s 51-year history to claim the ceremony’s most sought-after award.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In a year where picking a frontrunner was particularly challenging, “L’Attachement,” starring Pio Marmai and Val\u00e9ria Bruni Tedeschi, emerged victorious, clinching 3 C\u00e9sars, including the prestigious Best Film award. “New Wave” also stood out, securing 4 C\u00e9sars, including Best Director for American filmmaker Richard Linklater.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Director and screenwriter Carine Tardieu has etched her name in history as only the sixth woman to win the C\u00e9sar for Best Film. She joins the ranks of Justine Triet, who won in 2024 for “Anatomy of a Fall,” Pascale Ferran for “Lady Chatterley” in 2007, Agn\u00e8s Jaoui for “The Taste of Others” in 2001, Tonie Marshall in 2000 for “Venus Beauty Institute,” and Coline Serreau for “Three Men and a Cradle” in 1986.<\/p>\n

In the directing category, the tally remains at two awards, with Richard Linklater being honored this year. Justine Triet and Tonie Marshall are the only other female recipients in the history of the C\u00e9sars.<\/p>\n

Five Feature Films, 20-Year Career: Carine Tardieu’s Journey<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The achievement is all the more remarkable considering these were Carine Tardieu’s first nominations! The filmmaker, whose debut feature “La T\u00eate de maman” came out in 2007, has directed five feature films over nearly two decades. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“L’Attachement” is her biggest box office hit, drawing nearly 800,000 viewers. She enjoyed previous success with “Just to Be Sure” (688,514 admissions in 2017) and “The Dandelions” (627,225 admissions in 2012).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When asked about the rarity of female directors winning the Best Film C\u00e9sar, Carine Tardieu responded, “There probably aren’t enough, that\u2019s for sure. However, when I make films, I don’t think about being a woman who makes films. But it turns out I am a woman who makes films<\/i>.” She added, “As I mentioned before, I am produced by two men who produce a lot of women and who are very progressive, which doesn’t stop them from being men<\/i>.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“L’Attachement” earned a total of 3 awards: Best Film, Best Adapted Screenplay (Carine Tardieu, Agn\u00e8s Feuvre, and Rapha\u00eble Moussafir), and Best Supporting Actress for Vimala Pons.<\/p>\n

Three Other Female Directors Honored at the 2026 C\u00e9sars<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Besides Carine Tardieu, it’s worth noting that three other female directors were recognized at this 51st ceremony. Pauline Loqu\u00e8s won the C\u00e9sar for Best First Feature Film with “Nino.” The film also won a second award for its lead actor, Th\u00e9odore Pellerin (C\u00e9sar for Most Promising Actor). In the short film categories, two female directors were awarded: Sandra Desmazi\u00e8res for “Daughter of Water” (C\u00e9sar for Short Animated Film) and Margaux Fournier for “Ladies’ Bath” (C\u00e9sar for Short Documentary Film).<\/p>\n

The Most Gender-Balanced Edition Yet<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

As highlighted by the 5050 Collective in an Instagram post, this 51st edition of the C\u00e9sar Awards has officially been the most gender-balanced in its awards since the event began in 1975! “Congratulations to all the winners, technicians, producers, directors, and kudos to the members of the @academiedescesar for taking a step towards equality in our industry.”<\/p>\n
