Stupeur et Tremblements (Fear and Trembling) (2003)
From the director of All the Mornings of the World, this film tells the story of Amélie, a dreamy and romantic young Belgian woman who arrives in Japan to begin work as a translator. Unfamiliar with the customs of the Japanese workplace, she commits a series of cultural missteps and suffers a string of demotions. Based on a best-selling autobiographical novel, Fear and Trembling is an unforgettable account of one woman's tragicomic journey to self-discovery. Awards for best actress
