Starring Isabelle Huppert

Seemingly ageless even as she turns seventy this March, the incomparable French actor Isabelle Huppert is something of a paradox: an enigma who lives in front of the camera, inviting our gaze while maintaining a sense of deep, unknowable mystery. Specializing in portrayals of complex women who transgress social, moral, and sexual boundaries, she has delivered fearless performances for uncompromising auteurs such as Jean-Luc Godard ( Every Man for Himself ), Maurice Pialat ( Loulou ), Claude Chabrol ( La cérémonie ), Michael Haneke ( The Piano Teacher ), Claire Denis ( White Material ), and Mia Hansen-Løve ( Things to Come ). Each is a captivating display of the singular performance style—so nuanced, ambiguous, and elusive that it’s barely discernible as acting—that has made her a legend in her time.
