Biography
A French performer in the 1990s
Coralie Trinh Thi is a French former porn actress, director, screenwriter and writer, born in Paris on 11 April 1976. She is also credited simply as Coralie. Her work in adult cinema belongs mainly to the 1990s. Adult productions were not her only screen work during that period: she also appeared in short and feature films made outside the pornographic industry. These parallel activities are important to the chronology of her career.[1][2]
Adult films and independent cinema
Her filmography connects her with French filmmakers Catherine Breillat, Gaspar Noé, Olivier Dahan and Laetitia Masson. Credits include En avoir (ou pas), Parfait amour !, Déjà mort and Sombre. Adult films and productions released through conventional cinema distribution therefore overlap in her career rather than forming two completely separate periods. In 2000, she moved behind the camera for Baise-moi, which she co-directed and co-wrote with Virginie Despentes. The feature adapts Despentes’s novel and brought national attention to Trinh Thi’s work as a filmmaker.[1][2][3]
Journalism and books
Trinh Thi subsequently developed her writing activities. She contributed music criticism to Rock & Folk. Her first novel, Betty Monde, was published in 2002, followed in 2007 by the autobiographical La Voie humide : une œuvre au rouge, published by Au diable vauvert. Media appearances addressed that book and her professional trajectory. Writing did not end her screen appearances: she reunited with Despentes as a performer in Bye Bye Blondie, released in 2012. Her biography consequently spans acting, filmmaking, music journalism and literary publication.[1][4][5]
Studios and documented professional credits
The catalogue for Coralie Trinh Thi includes studio labels such as X-Cel, Private, Sin City. These names come from the title references and provide a route through the production or distribution networks associated with this career. The directory records 54 acting credits, 1 directing credits, keeping each professional function separate. The same title can therefore account for more than one credit. These figures describe the entries currently documented here; they are neither a count of new shoots nor a measure of career length. Original productions, reissues and compilations need to be distinguished using the individual references. A studio label alone does not establish an exclusive contract or an employer relationship.[6]

Career and professional background
Co-directing Baise-moi
Baise-moi represents a distinct stage in Coralie Trinh Thi’s career. She worked on it as co-director and co-screenwriter, rather than only performing in somebody else’s film. Her collaboration with Virginie Despentes involved adapting a literary work and making a feature film. Its French release in 2000 generated a public dispute over classification. That context helps explain her media visibility at the time, but the controversy does not encompass all of her work as an actress or filmmaker.[1][2]
A career across film and publishing
Betty Monde and La Voie humide later became important parts of her public work. The former is fiction, while the latter addresses her own experiences. Contributions to Rock & Folk added music criticism to these publications. Her appearance in Bye Bye Blondie also continued her professional association with Virginie Despentes. These activities document several continuing creative occupations, rather than a move from film into just one replacement profession.[1][4][5]
