Diane Kruger, a German actress, will receive the Golden Eye Award at this year's Zurich Film Festival.
Christian Jungen, the artistic director of the Zurich Film Festival, said in a statement to Variety, "Diane Kruger is one of cinema's most versatile character actresses." She not only becomes completely immersed in each job she takes on, but she also gives her characters a lot of depth."
"In addition to her powerful charisma," Christian said, "she possesses the rare ability to captivate audiences with her irresistible, somewhat enigmatic aura."
"Kruger established herself in France, the motherland of auteur cinema, where she now enjoys considerable renown and widespread admiration as a star in her own right, just like her idol Romy Schneider."
"And she is thrilling and thriving just as much in Hollywood," Christian said, "where she has wowed in blockbusters like 'Troy' and 'Inglourious Basterds.'" For these reasons, we are overjoyed to welcome Diane Kruger back to Zurich and award her with the Golden Eye for her contributions to cinema."
Diane replied to the announcement, "Thank you Zurich Film Festival for this wonderful recognition."
"I am honoured and proud to join the distinguished list of previous honorees." I can't wait to return to Zurich and celebrate with you all in October!" She went on to say.
Meanwhile, Diane's latest film, Visions, will have its worldwide debut in Zurich from September 28 to October 8, and the Film Festival will be held from September 28 to October 8.
For the uninitiated, prior Golden Eye Award winners include Eddie Redmayne, Iris Berben, Kristen Stewart, Jake Gyllenhaal, John Malkovich, Helen Hunt, and Olivia Colman.
