Manon Clavel

Manon Clav­el joined the Paris Nation­al Supe­ri­or Con­ser­va­to­ry of Dra­mat­ic Arts in 2016. Her star rose quick­ly on the stage, notably for her per­for­mance in Mar­tin Crimp’s play The Coun­try, direct­ed by Syl­vain Mau­rice at the Théâtre du Rond-Point, for which she earned a 2023 Molière nom­i­na­tion for Best Sup­port­ing Actress. Manon Clav­el made her film debut in 2019 with Hirokazu Kore-eda’s The Truth, fol­lowed by Léonor Serraille’s Moth­er and Son, screened in com­pe­ti­tion at the 2022 Cannes Film Fes­ti­val. Around this time, she par­tic­i­pat­ed in the inter­na­tion­al series Win­ter Palace, before being direct­ed in films by Fabi­enne Godet, Isabelle Car­ré and Julien Gas­par-Oliv­eri. A wider audi­ence dis­cov­ered her in Kika, Alexe Poutine’s debut fea­ture, pre­sent­ed at Cannes Crit­ics’ Week, in which she played the title role. Her per­for­mance earned her this year a César Most Promis­ing Actress nom­i­na­tion, as well as the Best Actress prize at the Brus­sels Film Fes­ti­val. She recent­ly fin­ished film­ing Alaa Eddine Aljem’s El Dora­do and Mar­i­on Desseigne-Ravel’s Une heure et demie en été.
