Charline Bourgeois-Tacquet (French pronunciation: [ʃaʁ.lin buʁ.ʒwa ta.kɛ]; born 1986)[1] is a French director, screenwriter, and actress.

Early life

Bourgeois-Tacquet was born and raised in Royan;[1][2] her mother taught English and her father was a furniture importer.[3] She became interested in acting at the age of 14 after seeing Isabelle Huppert in the play Medea in La Rochelle.[2][4]

She attended the Lycée Cordouan in Royan and later moved to Paris to enroll in the khâgne program at the Lycée Fénelon.[5] She then earned a licence de lettres and a master's degree in literature from Sorbonne University.[3][6] After failing the agrégation de lettres exam to teach literature, she applied for an internship at the publishing house Éditions Grasset, from where she was later offered a full-time position.[2]

Career

Bourgeois-Tacquet began her career working as an editorial assistant at Éditions Grasset for three years.[3][4] Through her work connections, she secured small roles in films by Lucas Belvaux, Philippe Le Guay, and Mia Hansen-Løve. At the age of 25, she met producer Philippe Carcassonne and sent him two screenplays, one of which became her first short film, Joujou.[5][6] Her second short film, Pauline, Enslaved, was screened in the Critics' Week section of the 2018 Cannes Film Festival.[7]

Principal photography on her debut feature film, Anaïs in Love, took place in 2020.[8] The film was partly inspired by an affair she had with a married man,[3][9] and was screened out of competition in the Critics' Week section of the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.[10] Her second feature film, A Woman's Life, premiered in the main competition of the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.[11][12]

Bourgeois-Tacquet's partner is French writer Emmanuel Carrère.[13][14]
