Marion Cotillard doesn't just enter a room, she takes command of it! That's the vibe we got when she joined The Morning Show Season 4 as Celine Dumont, a powerhouse board president wrestling with the politics of TV news.

Cotillard told CBR herself that Celine is "complex" and "trapped in her desire to own her place" in an industry that still makes women fight for respect. Her filmography is filled with such roles, if her performance caught your eye.

From Hollywood blockbusters to French films, Marion Cotillard brings characters to life in a way that leaves a mark. She is Christopher Nolan's go-to elusive woman, has won an Oscar, and impressed Cannes. Check out these five movies and TV shows if you're hooked after her Apple TV+ debut!


5 Marion Cotillard projects to watch after The Morning Show Season 4

1. La Vie en Rose (2007)

For Cotillard, this role changed everything. Her rendition of French icon Édith Piaf was so revolutionary that it earned her the Best Actress award and made her the first person to win an Oscar for a French-only role!

Piaf is seen as an example of a talented but vulnerable individual. Critics laud this performance as one of the most outstanding ones of the century, as Cotillard evokes Piaf's untamed voice and the isolation that drives her.


2. Inception (2010)

In Christopher Nolan's dream-filled movie, Marion Cotillard plays Mal, Leonardo DiCaprio's wife, who haunts his subconscious. She's a memory brought to life. Mal is inspirational, terrifying, and emotionally weighty throughout the film.

The way in which she balances Mal's threatening presence with sadness sticks with you. Compared to her polished, powerful character, Celine Dumont, Mal shows Cotillard exploring memory with an unsettling edge.


3. Rust and Bone (2012)

Although Marion Cotillard has always been a standout star in French movies, Rust and Bone differs. She strikes an honest connection with a street fighter while playing Stéphanie, a whale trainer who suffers a leg injury in an accident.

Cotillard's performance deserves credit for its resiliency without making the film into a sob story. The film is brutal but gentle. You can feel the humanity, strength, and pain as you watch her here, like discovering another aspect of her talent.


4. Two Days, One Night (2014)

The Morning Show examines corporate power struggles, while Two Days, One Night shows the realistic fight for dignity at work. In the latter, Sandra (Marion Cotillard) tries to keep her job after her coworkers vote her out.

Despite its apparent simplicity, Cotillard (nominated for another Oscar) makes Sandra's struggle memorable. She shows us how fragile Sandra is, yet somehow quietly strong. You'll find yourself completely rooting for her. No wonder Rotten Tomatoes gave it a near-perfect 96%...it totally earns it!


5. Extrapolations (2023)

Besides The Morning Show, Marion Cotillard has tried her hand at TV work. She starred in Apple TV+'s Extrapolations (a climate change anthology series) as Sylvie, a character dealing with global environmental disasters.

The show didn't win critics' attention, but Marion Cotillard's presence shows she's game to try different kinds of TV. If you're curious about what else she's been doing, it's worth watching alongside The Morning Show.
