Isabelle Huppert, message personnel

This documentary combines excerpts from significant film roles with snippets of interviews provided at film festivals. These are characterized by flowery speech, praising the creators who have provided work for the actress and are conducted in a style of speaking a lot, but saying little. Did the film succeed in revealing to film fans the true personality of Isabelle Huppert hidden behind the faces of her heroines? Not at all. And I think that was the intention. The selection of film excerpts also strengthens the idea of the French star as mysterious, impenetrable, and inaccessible, but at the same time provocatively exciting femme fatale, who exercises power over anyone who crosses her path. The interviews are more or less a waste of time, while the film excerpts demonstrate a professional with an extensive film repertoire, who has charisma to spare. Overall impression: 65%, with respect to the fact that I am an admirer of her acting talent. (25.07.2021)

In this documentary, Isabelle Huppert didn't reveal that much about herself, but I enjoyed her reminiscing immensely. Among other things, I became convinced that she is still one of the most expressive and interesting female faces in world cinema. The excerpts used from movies speak volumes about her immense acting talent and charisma, through which she managed to captivate audiences from a young age. (85%) (30.07.2021)
