Any good movie recommendations for any of them?
Ah, they might be hard to get by in your corner of the world. All are European actresses that I think are mostly involved in productions of their respective home countries. Nevertheless, some of their films have gotten limited international release. You might watch out for Jasmine Trinca in Nanni Moretti's "The Son's Room (La stanza di figlio)", and for Germany's Susanne Bormann in Andreas Dresen's "Nightshapes (Nachtgestalten)" or "Learning to Lie (Liegen lernen", she also has a small part in "The Bader Meinhof Complex" which was a contender for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars this year. Marie Gillain might be the easiest to spot. She made her debut in 1991 in a Gerard Depardieu flick called "My Father the Hero (Mon père ce héros)", and she is breathtaking in that. It's a light comedy and you can't take your eyes off her. The film was remade in Hollywood some years later with Katherine Heigl, and Depardieu reprising his role. Other Gillain films include Bertrand Tavernier's "The Bait (L'appat)" from 1995, "Hell" from 2005 with Emmanuelle Béart, and "Female Agents" from 2008 with Sophie Marceau. There are lots of clips on youtube too.
