List of Monica Bellucci performances


Monica Bellucci is an Italian actor whose international filmography primarily encompasses films and television programs in her native Italy, the United States, and France. She made her Italian debut in the television miniseries Vita coi figli in 1991 and in the film The Raffle the same year. Her first credited named role in the United States was as one of the three brides in Francis Ford Coppola's horror film Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1992. She starred in Italian productions for the next four years and in the television miniseries, Joseph. Her French debut and breakthrough role was in the arthouse film The Apartment, which garnered Bellucci a César Award nomination for Most Promising Actress. Her role as Giulia Giovannini in the Italian comedy-drama film L'ultimo capodanno earned her a Globo d'oro Award for Best Actress in 1998.
Bellucci performed her first English-language lead role in the American thriller Under Suspicion in 2000. The same year, she portrayed Malèna Scordia in the drama Malèna, which launched her global popularity. She appeared consecutively in two French blockbuster films, the historical epic Brotherhood of the Wolf and the comedy Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, portraying Cleopatra in the latter one. She co-starred in the 2002 French thriller Irréversible, regarded as a highly controversial film. Bellucci played Alessia in the Italian film Remember Me, My Love, for which she received the Nastro d'Argento Award for Best Supporting Actress and her first nomination for a David di Donatello Award in the same category. She then portrayed Persephone in two sci-fi films from The Matrix franchise released in 2003, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. For her portrayal of Mary Magdalene in the Mel Gibson-directed drama The Passion of the Christ, she was nominated for a Nastro d'Argento for Best Supporting Actress. In 2006, she lent her voice to the French version of the American animated film Robots.
In 2010, Bellucci portrayed Laura Leviani in Larysa Kondracki's biopic drama thriller The Whistleblower. She starred opposite Robert De Niro in The Ages of Love and Behrouz Vossoughi in Rhino Season. For her portrayal of Sophie in the Canadian film Ville-Marie in 2015, she received Best Actress from the Dublin Film Critics' Circle. She followed this with Spectre, in which she played Lucia Sciarra, becoming at the age of 50 the oldest Bond girl in James Bond history. She portrayed opera singer Alessandra in the third season of the American comedy-drama streaming television series Mozart in the Jungle. That same year she starred in Emir Kusturica's On the Milky Road, a story that took place during the Yugoslav Wars, and it earned her the Nastro d'Argento Europeo. In 2018, she guest starred on the French television series Call My Agent!, and played an evil demon in the Australian comedy science fiction film Nekrotronic. In 2019 she made her stage debut in Paris, performing a series of monologues based on the letters and memoirs of Maria Callas under the direction of Tom Volf at the Théâtre Marigny.
