Catherine Deneuve honoured in Venice

Jaeger-LeCoultre is the main sponsor of the Venice International Film Festival which is being held until the 9th of September and presented last Sunday its “Glory to the Filmmaker” Award to Stephen Frears. Moreover the Maison will honour Catherine Deneuve with an award that celebrates her outstanding career. Actress Diane Kruger is to present the award at the annual gala evening to be held today. This exceptional occasion salutes Catherine Deneuve, a long-time friend to the Maison, for her contribution to the art of filmmaking.
To celebrate Catherine Deneuve is to pay tribute to one of cinema’s all-time greats, a woman who has continually reinvented herself through one-of-a-kind roles. Since the early days of her career in the 1960s, she has worked alongside the most famous names in film, including Luis Buñuel, François Truffaut, Jacques Demy, and Raul Ruiz. She has continued to take up artistic challenges and stretch the limits of her art ever since, teaming up with out-of-the-ordinary directors of striking creativity.
