Diane Kruger to Be Ho<i></i>nored With Golden Eye Award at Zurich Film Festival

Diane Kruger is set to receive the Golden Eye Award at this year’s edition of Zurich Film Festival.

Throughout the course of her career, Kruger has worked with high-profile directors such as Quentin Tarantino, Wolfgang Peterson and Robert Zemeckis. She is best known for her roles as Helen of Sparta in “Troy” (2004), Abigail Chase in “National Treasure” (2004) and its sequel “Book of Secrets” (2007), Bridget von Hammersmark in Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” (2009), Anna in “Mr. Nobody” (2009) and Katja in “In the Fade” (2017).

“Diane Kruger is one of cinema’s most versatile character actresses. She not only becomes wholly absorbed in each and every role she takes on, but also imparts her characters with great depth,” said Christian Jungen, Zurich Film Festival’s artistic director, in a statement.

“In addition to her powerful charisma, she possesses the rare ability to captivate audiences with her irresistible, somewhat enigmatic aura. Just like her idol Romy Schneider, Kruger also 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. And she is thrilling and thriving just as much in Hollywood, where she has wowed in blockbusters like ‘Troy’ and ‘Inglourious Basterds.’ For these reasons, we are truly delighted to be welcoming Diane Kruger back to Zurich and presenting her with the Golden Eye for her services to cinema.”

Kruger’s latest film, “Visions,” is set to have its international premiere in Zurich. Directed by Yann Gozlan, the psychological thriller stars Kruger as a married airline captain whose life spins out of control when she encounters an old flame.

Past recipients of the Golden Eye Award include Eddie Redmayne, Iris Berben, Kristen Stewart, Jake Gyllenhaal, John Malkovich, Helen Hunt and Olivia Colman.

Kruger responded, “Thank you Zurich Film Festival for this wonderful recognition. I’m honored and proud to be part of the impressive list of past honorees. I look forward to return to Zurich and celebrate with all of you in October!”

Kruger will receive the Golden Eye Award on Oct. 2, timed to the premiere of “Visions.” Zurich Film Festival will take place from Sept. 28 to Oct. 8.
