biography:
Ana Girardot, née le 1er août 1988 à Clamart (Hauts-de-Seine), est une actrice française.

Ana Girardot est la fille d'Hippolyte Girardot et d'Isabel Otero, et la petite-fille des peintres Antonio Otero et Clotilde Vautier (1939-1968). Elle choisit d'être comédienne contre l'avis initial de son père et, durant deux ans, suit des cours de théâtre à New York. En couple depuis 2015 avec Arthur de Villepin, fils de l'ancien Premier ministre Dominique de Villepin, elle annonce, le 18 septembre 2019, sa séparation.  Après quelques rôles secondaires à la télévision et au cinéma, Ana Girardot obtient un rôle principal particulièrement remarqué par la critique dans le film Simon Werner a disparu... de Fabrice Gobert présenté lors du Festival de Cannes 2010.

La même année, elle fait une apparition à la télévision dans la série policière de TF1, Diane, femme flic, dont le rôle-titre est interprété par sa propre mère, Isabel Otero. Elle poursuit l'année suivante sur le petit écran en jouant cette fois le rôle principal de l'épisode Yvette, de la série Chez Maupassant, sous la direction d'Olivier Schatzky. Fabrice Gobert lui propose alors d'intégrer la distribution principale de sa première série télévisée, Les Revenants. La fiction est diffusée en 2012 et connait un succès critique et commercial international. La même année, elle est à l'affiche de deux films également remarqués: elle joue dans le film biographique Cloclo, de Florent-Emilio Siri, et tient un rôle secondaire dans la comédie dramatique Radiostars, de Romain Levy.

Avec sa participation au film Paradise Lost d'Andrea Di Stefano, elle commence une carrière internationale en donnant la réplique à Benicio del Toro, puis joue dans le thriller La prochaine fois je viserai le cœur de Cédric Anger au côté de Guillaume Canet à contre-emploi.

L'année 2015 est marquée par deux projets: la sortie de la seconde saison des Revenants – ayant connu un moindre succès que la première saison – et le long métrage Un homme idéal de Yann Gozlan dans lequel elle a le premier rôle féminin, face à Pierre Niney.

Elle joue ensuite, par deux fois, sous la direction de Cédric Klapisch dans Ce qui nous lie (2017) et Deux moi (2019).

Lorsqu'elle habite New York, elle épouse un jeune Franco-Américain dont elle divorce deux ans plus tard. De retour en France, elle est en couple avec Arthur de Villepin, fils de l'ancien Premier ministre Dominique de Villepin, de 2015 à 2019.

Le 4 décembre 2020, elle donne naissance à son premier enfant, un garçon prénommé Jazz.

overview: Do you know Lacan, which many consider as the greatest psychoanalyst since Freud? Beyond the myth, the legends and sometimes, the curses, this film by Gérard Miller allows us to discover his work and his personality, through the testimony of his patients, his students, and also his relatives. Born with the XXth century into an upper-middle-class Catholic family, a psychiatrist by training, with an encyclopaedic knowledge of culture, a friend of Picasso, Levi-Strauss and Sartre, Lacan was a great theoretician, an outstanding practitioner, and he remains the most modern, the most challenging and even the most sulphurous of psychoanalysts. The director Gerard Miller met Lacan thanks to his brother, Jacques-Alain, the most faithful of his students, who married his daughter Judith. Their close and intense relationship makes this film exceptional.

Like Olympia, Verdi’s most celebrated heroine surrenders to the spectator just as she surrenders to love, going so far as to die on stage, a woman’s ultimate sacrifice for her lover. Or might it be the spectator who strips her bare and intrudes upon her privacy, in the image of this milieu of social voyeurism? Whatever the case, these two women regard us with defiance and subjugate those who cannot help but look at them.
