Life and work Born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Pascale Bussières first attracted attention as a suicidal teenager in Micheline Lanctôt’s 1984 film '' Sonatine''; however, it was ''Blanche'', the 1993 Radio-Canada series directed by Charles Binamé that gave her star status in Quebec. After ''Blanche'', and then a lead in Binamé’s Generation-X picture ''Eldorado'', Bussières became the 1990s heir to Geneviève Bujold and Carole Laure – the most charismatic actress of her generation. It's a measure of Bussières's range as an actress that her follow-up to ''Eldorado'' was the role of a prim-and-proper mythology teacher who discovers her lesbian desires in Patricia Rozema's ''When Night Is Falling''. She also gives a standout performance as an alienated fashion model who wants to conceive a child in Denis Villeneuve's debut feature, ''August 32nd on Earth (Un 32 août sur terre)'', and won both the 200 ...
