Next up on Celebrity Watch: Juliette Binoche is in Israel for filming. You know her. She starred in, among numerous other films, Trois Couleurs Bleu and Chocolat(opposite Johnny Depp).

Here for ten days, she’s working with Israeli director Amos Gitai - “He makes me work like a horse” the French actress told press upon arrival – in an Israel-French-Italian co-production. Binoche portrays a French woman on a journey to find her estranged daughter (Israeli actress Dana Ivgi), who was raised on a kibbutz. The story backdrop is Israel’s disengagement from Gaza and recent riots in France.

“From my point of view this is not a political movie, but rather a humane story that focuses on pain,” Binoche told ynet in an interview, “I fell in love with the script from the moment I saw it…The subject is very loaded; it’s a story about an emotional voyage full of revelations.”
