I Love Isabelle Huppert

Documentary by Stéphane Bergouhnioux & Jean-Marie Nizan
52 min - Canal + Cinéma - 2017

Synopsis

Isabelle Huppert is a singular actress. Both a face and a voice, she is an essential and central figure in French cinema.

Awarded a Golden Globe and a César, nominated for an Oscar, the actress is also (uniquely) recognized worldwide. Her career has taken her to every continent, to every cinema screen. She is the only French actress (and perhaps the only one in the world) to shoot one of every three films abroad. She has worked in Russia, Italy, Austria, Germany, South Korea, the Philippines, Cambodia, and in the USA with Michael Cimino and David O. Russell. Film after film, from her first roles with Otto Preminger to Paul Verhoeven’s Elle, Isabelle Huppert has helped define world cinema.

This film opens the book onto these multiple, fascinating and iconic pages, offering a dialogue between Isabelle Huppert and those for whom she is a performer, an instrument, a spokesperson, a muse; those for whom she is a model; those who scrutinize her at every moment: the filmmakers and artists of the world.

With Isabelle Huppert, Paul Verhoeven, Michael Haneke, David O Russell, Marco Bellochio, Hal Hartley, Hong Sangsoo, Joachim Trier, Joachim Lafosse, Kim Cattrall, Brillante Mendoza…
