Complete filmography

Her observer and imitator talent naturally leads Valerie Lemercier to comedy and she enters the drama academy of Rouen. At the age of 18, she settles in Paris where she links up jobs and in the same time she takes drama class. Jean-Michel Ribes casts her as Lady Palace in the successful TV show Palace. Valerie Lemercier then acquires a public notoriety by performing a bourgeoise, a character she also performs on TV and on screen as in May Fools by Louis Malle, her first film in 1990.
She then links successful films as L’Opération Corned-beef by Jean-Marie Poiret and Weaker Sexes! by Serge Meynard and the hit The Visitors by Jean-Marie Poiret that wins her the Best Supporting actress César Award.
Valérie Lemercier is by three times awarded with the theatre Molière Award for her caustic one-woman-shows. She also appears in Casque Bleu by Gérard Jugnot and is a modest lover in Friday Night by Claire Denis in 2002.
In 1997, she directs her first feature Quadrille adapted from the eponym Sacha Guitry’s play.
This is a hit and two years later she directs Le Derrière, a comedy in which she mischievously points at the excesses of the politically correct. Director and screenwriter, Valérie Lemercier also appropriates the main parts of her films. She is Armelle, a speech therapist became a princess in Palais Royal !, a corrosive painting of the sovereigns’ world, alongside a first choice casting: Catherine Deneuve, Mathilde Seigner, Lambert Wilson and Michel Aumont among others.
