When Binoche's parents divorced in 1968, four-year-old Juliette and her sister Marion were sent to a provincial boarding school.<ref name=autogenerated3>Inside the Actors Studio; Lipton, James; 27 October 2002; season 9, episode 2</ref> During their teens, the Binoche sisters spent their school holidays with their maternal grandmother, not seeing their parents for months at a time. Binoche has stated that this perceived parental abandonment had a profound effect on her.<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/imagine/episode/dangerous_liaisons.shtml Imagine...: Dangerous Liaisons, When Akram met Juliette]; Yentob, Alan; 14 October 2008.

She was not particularly academic<ref name=autogenerated5>L'Année Juliette; Première, September 1995; issue 222, p 83; (French language)</ref> and in her teenage years began acting at school in amateur stage productions. At seventeen, she directed and starred in a student production of the [[Eugène Ionesco]] play, ''[[Le Roi se meurt|Exit the King]]''. She studied acting at the ''[[CNSAD|Conservatoire National Supérieur d'Art Dramatique]]'' (CNSAD), but quit after a short time as she disliked the curriculum.<ref name=autogenerated5 /> In the early 1980s, she found an agent through a friend and joined a theater troupe, touring France, Belgium and Switzerland under the pseudonym "Juliette Adrienne".<ref>The Sunshine Girls; Bignell, Darren; Empire, March 1997; iss 94, p 63</ref> Around this time, she began lessons with acting coach Vera Gregh.<ref>

Her first professional screen experience came as an extra in the three-part [[TF1]] television series ''Dorothée, danseuse de corde'' (1983) directed by [[Jacques Fansten]], followed by a similarly small role in the provincial television film ''Fort bloque'' directed by Pierrick Guinnard. After this, Binoche secured her first feature-film appearance with a minor role in [[Pascal Kané]]'s ''[[Liberty Belle (film)|Liberty Belle]]'' (1983). Her role required just two days on-set, but was enough to inspire Binoche to pursue a career in film.<ref name=autogenerated5 />
