Juliet Berto


Juliet Berto, born Annie Jamet, was a French actress, director and screenwriter.
A member of the same loose group of student radicals as Anne Wiazemsky, she first appeared in Jean-Luc Godard's Two or Three Things I Know About Her, and would go on to appear in many of Godard's subsequent films, including La Chinoise, Week End, Le Gai Savoir, and Vladimir et Rosa. She later became a muse for the French New Wave director Jacques Rivette, starring in Out 1 and Celine and Julie Go Boating.
In the 1980s, she became a screenwriter and film director. Jean Douchet wrote that her work as a director was "vibrant, tense, rebellious, and passionate, yet full of joy and humour." Her film Cap Canaille was entered into the 33rd Berlin International Film Festival. In 1987, she was a member of the jury at the 37th Berlin International Film Festival. She died from breast cancer at age 42.
