One of cinema’s greatest actresses, Isabelle Huppert has portrayed an astonishing range of characters – from strong and fierce rebels to lonely-hearts. Whether on stage or in front of the camera, she has never shied away from challenging protagonists and always delivers remarkable performances; rightly resulting in an international, multi-awarded and incredibly prolific career.
On the occasion of the publication of Nick Rees-Roberts and Darren Waldron essay Isabelle Huppert: Stardom, Performance, Authorship (Bloomsbury, 2022) and the release of Anthony Fabian’s Mrs Harris Goes to Paris (from 30 Sept), Ciné Lumière puts the spotlight on Isabelle Huppert.
A muse to Claude Chabrol and Michael Haneke, she has inspired some of the finest and most demanding directors from Maurice Pialat to Mia Hansen-Løve, from Paul Verhoeven to Claire Denis.
