Natali Broods

Actor · Born September 11, 1976 (50)

Natali Broods was born near Antwerp, in Belgium. She made her cinema debut when she was still in drama school, at the age of 19. Although she auditioned for a smaller part, Guido Henderickx wanted her to be the lead actress in his movie "S". In 2003, she played one of the leading roles in Tom Barman' s "Anyway the wind blows", opposite Matthias Schoenaerts, for which she received a Joseph Plateau Award. Shortly afterwards she acted in Fien Troch' s first feature film "Someone else's happiness". After several short films and her work in theater, she played in "The Misfortunes" by Felix van Groeningen and "Hotel Swooni" by Kaat Beels. She acted opposite Jérémie Renier in "Waste Land", a movie in Dutch and French by Pieter Van Hees. In 2005 she won an Ensor for Best Actress in a Supporting role for Galloping Mind, a movie by Wim Vandekeybus, in which she acted in English and Hungarian. Another Ensor followed, this time for Best Actress for "Façades", a film by Kaat Beels and Nathalie Basteyns. On television, her work includes "Tabula Rasa" ( Netflix ), "Over Water" ( Netflix ), "De Infiltrant", "Stockholm Requiem" and "Déja Vu". Natali began acting on stage when she graduated from Studio Herman Teirlinck in 2000, mainly with companies as Tg Stan ( Les Antigones, Poquelin, The Lonely Way...) and Cie De Koe ( trilogy WhiteRedBlack, Offending The Public, Beckett Boulevard, Who' s afraid of Virginia Woolf...) Most of these plays were performed in Dutch and French.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
