She is just a no-bullshit kind of person. No spiritual experience, no finding the meaning of life, no learning about herself. just acting and that on the highest level possible.
I love how she sounds as if acting doesn't matter to her. I'm not saying it doesn't, but you hear a lot of actors saying how acting changed and/or saved their lives, and for Isabelle it is nothing but a job. A different kind of job, but a job nonetheless. And it's interesting to know what she thinks about her character in the film, cause I've spent a lot of time thinking about her over and over again, judging the way she delt with everything that happened to her, and then Isabelle defines her as a woman who doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. That was so very smart. Gotta love her.
It's not that it doesn't matter to her. She's said before that she doesn't see a role as a character because that's a limitation. She sees them as person so she is free to do whatever she likes with it. She also doesn't want/care to judge a character or their actions. Her only job is to portray that person.
That's what I was trying to say, I guess. I just find refreshing to hear an actress like her treating her job like something normal, which is so different from what I am used to hear from american actors, for example. And for some people she may seem like someone who doesn't care enough for what she does. But yeah, you're absolutely right.
@@analuzpena1 Yes, you are right. I'm sure those American actresses wanted to say: Oh, of course, roles change our lives forever blah blah blah, that's why they were so surprised with Huppert' answer.
She has a reputation of being a bit feisty, which is one of the reasons she's a acting legend here in Europe. You don't mess around with her. You can tell that the others are slightly in awe of her. She's the female equivalent of Daniel Day Lewis. Somewhat mysterious and somewhat scary.
I think she's more than DDL, she may be the living actor with the best filmography/perfomances, everyone in the room was afraid of her. I hope she wins the Oscar, she deserves it.
To me, Adjani is more of the equivalent of Daniel Day Lewis, both become the character they play while Huppert just hops in and out and never misses a beat.
Mattias Jansson I personally don't think they were in awe as they were in shock. I see it with other actresses when they do interviews in America they tend to make fun of how passionate we are for everything as if that's a bad thing.
Interesting how every actor or actress has a different approach to acting. Some allow the role to envelop their entire life and affect their emotions etc while others like Isabelle separate the work from their lives. And yet they are all able to have such masterful performances.
It's really nice to see someone as talented as Isabelle say that you don't have to get involved with a role, or suffer from it in order to prepare yourself to deliver a great performance, as she does every time.
When you think that Emma Stone won the Oscar that year. No disrespect to her, i loved her since Superbad and everyine loves here but her acting in La La Land was nothing compared to what Isabelle did in Elle, they shouldn't even be in the same category. I guess America wasn't ready for a part that was so radical. The Golden Globes did at least
one of the best talents in the world and just incredible in ELLE, please nominate her America, it's time!!! I will be so happy if this is a little bit longer since she's not doing a lot of interviews in english.
They are so in awe. I have always loved Meryl Streep, beguiled by Kate Winslet, mesmerised by Catherine Duvet,....... And then, by chance, I almost fell into Isabelle,.......and life changed. Isabelle is the greatest actress ever lived, ........ period.
@@96powerpower Forgive me. A year since that message. I meant Catherine Deneuve. I am dying so PLEASE forgive me. And we all know Isabelle Huppert is the greatest actress of them all,.. and as much as I love Meryl Streep she is no Isabelle Huppert.
before to watch ELLE, I didn't have idea who was Isabelle Huppert, but now i saw the film, l realized she's of the greatest actresses of all-time. For me she's at level of Meryl Streep
Huppert is such a class act, she can act any part and come out the other side unscathed .Her fellow actors hold her in such high regard is so evident: she's played roles many of them couldn't have.
She is my favourite actor, even know i only known she existed for a month, you should see the film greta classic, yas queen keep inspiring us isabelle!❤
This movie was so wonderful - it really confused me and made me think. It haunted me. I couldn't understand if she did what I thought she did and why. IT took me a while to piece it all together. I LOVED IT!
It's sort of ironical to hear something like that. Usually it's all about the actor's trauma and psychological aftermaths bleeding into his private sphere. Isabelle claims to be standing above that, clearly separating her art from her life which enables her to act out even the most extreme situations. “Truth never scares me. In life it's another story.”
What an actress and what a 2016 she had,She could had won again in Cannes but to be fair three times is already too much. I still have a lot to see from her specially her collaborations with Chabrol but what I've see from her with Haneke(especially The Piano Teacher one of the best perfomances I have ever seen) and Heaven´s Gate(film history can be really mean) and now Elle with one of my favourite directors of all time has just been terrific. France really does produce the best actresses Isabelle,Juliette Binoche and Marion Cotilard are 10\10
I love Annette Benning. Her smile and her laugh are from another world. Huppert is like herself in a cafe or at home. I am French and I find her quite intimidating. She always go straight to the point without giggling.
she'r another level, no one on this table comes close. It's frightning actually how she becomes every character she plays, and she did so many disturbing movies in which other actresses would shy away or fear for their reputation. there is something special about the french cinema. its more real and raw. Juliette binoche, charlotte gainsbourgh and her are the top 3 that come to mind.
Acredito que a premiação é mais sobre a política do momento do que sobre talento. Agora em 2023 o Oscar de melhor atriz era da Cate Blanchett, mas deram a outra pessoa pois era o mais politicamente correto.
There has always been a lot of resentment in European countries that the mass market for movies (ie USA) demands English language pictures. The remuneration, stardom, career expansion etc that British films have access to are denied to the great film industries of France, Sweden,Italy and Germany among others.Hollywood has often made English versions of films made in Europe. Actresses like Huppert, extremely distinguished in their own countries have often resisted the temptation to emigrate: film-making is serious culture in all these countries and many of the world’s greatest productions are in French, Italian or Swedish. It’s really vital that audiences start to accept sub-titles. We really don’t want actors of Huppert’s calibre to demean themselves to achieve greater exposure: we need filmgoers to understand what they are missing, and make the effort to expand their own awareness
Interesting and unexpected. So, for Ms. Huppert, acting is immersing into another state of mind, between consciousness and subconsciousness, like being a little drunk, which sounds like a very exciting and potentially cathartic experience. But yet, acting for her is also only about that moment, you do it and its done. It's not about learning, and no acting role ever changed her views of life. So why does she do it? Just for the fun of it? (any thoughts out there?)
she said once "acting is a way of living out one's insanity" and she rejects the term "character", affirming that she is not "playing a character" but "going through different states of mind". So I think when she says a role never changed her, she means that everything she plays in a movie was already inside her to begin with. My guess is that acting for her is a way to explore herself, through the different settings given by a movie or a director. I don't know really, but she is such a prolific actor, making several movies a year.. She seems to be addicted to acting but is very nonchalant about it lol
@@analuizapedrosa8698 I've just watched a documentary about her. She said there's no way she could ever in her lifetime live without acting. She's absolutely addicted to it. It's not about 'fun', it sounds more like a nun living out a certain kind of spiritual service. Addiction is the best word.
Try studying acting, and you will have tiny glimpses of that state, I swear. It is rad. Everyone should try it. After all, our best writer was an actor, director, producer, playwright.
isabelle huppert ou actrice en france ! la belle vie crois moi ! ça a commencé par la dentelliere et poursuivi avec ...la dame tranquille qui passe pour une grande artiste ! acteur quoi !
I LOVE ISABELLE SO MUCH! But does it seem that this might spoil the movie a bit? I've seen the movie tho, but it would ruin the movie somehow for the ones who haven't seen it
guys... seriously. The way it cuts to another scene with that music out of nowhere gives me stomach ache X( there surely has to be an editor that works for you that knows how to edit a short video more smoothly
She's a great actress. That said, I find her cynical and snobbish. Acting is full of sensitivity and the personification of a character is given it life. Sounds like a robot the way she speaks. I don't buy it.
I can sort of see what you mean but it's all about different cultural background. I think French actors are not into psychology. They're much more grounded and somehow unaffected but at the same time very invested in what they do. She's not cynical at all but she has this kind of distance. She's renowned in France for shying away from the media. She's also very respected as an actress in France and pretty much everywhere in Europe!
Rudy L Because she is younger and has done a lot of English-speaking/Hollywood films which have established her as mainstream among the industry. Isabelle is 22 years her senior and has kept a very low profile and has mostly done high quality French films which have established her as a very sophisticated European actress. Don't forget that Huppert is also a theatre actress which requires another philosophy.
It's so nice that they invited some fans to watch the interview with Isabelle.
No one is on her league.
This comment never gets old lol. What a legend she is!
Isabelle Huppert is the Greatest Of All Time
She is just a no-bullshit kind of person. No spiritual experience, no finding the meaning of life, no learning about herself. just acting and that on the highest level possible.
Exactly.
ON POINT
She's honestly one of the greatest actresses of our time.
Bro, all time. One of the greatest actors of all time. Actress, probably greatest ever
@@Filmythingss cate Blanchett is better
@@serenitybeats1677 I think that Isabelle and Cate are on the same level.
She's the best
I love how interviewers always ask her "Was it hard..."
& she always says "no"

She does not need one! She is so much better than an Oscar winning actress.
freshname Indeed, but just like Binoche, it'd be cool if she had one.
To me, Adjani is more of the equivalent of Daniel Day Lewis, both become the character they play while Huppert just hops in and out and never misses a beat.

Her role in The Teacher was one of the bravest performances ever. So happy she is getting mainstream attention in the States.
*The Piano teacher*
or
*la pianista*
I am not sure what ¨The teacher¨ is...
Yes, it was "The Piano Teacher". My mistake :)
No problemo. We knew what you meant. And yes, she rendered a stellar performance in The Piano Teacher.
Isabelle Huppert is pure class.
I love her in The Piano Teacher. She's an immense powerhouse. Everyone of her performance feel very personal and unnerving. She's one of the best.
Interesting how every actor or actress has a different approach to acting. Some allow the role to envelop their entire life and affect their emotions etc while others like Isabelle separate the work from their lives. And yet they are all able to have such masterful performances.
Acting is very personal and never a one-stop shop. That's one of the beauties of it :)
It's really nice to see someone as talented as Isabelle say that you don't have to get involved with a role, or suffer from it in order to prepare yourself to deliver a great performance, as she does every time.
The way of certainty she has in herself is admiring!
Maybe because she has a hidden complete admiration for herself.
@@antoinemozart243 I hope so.
What an intelligent woman. Without a doubt, one of the greatest (if not THE GREATEST) actresses of modern times.
Don’t sleep on her French counterpart Marion
I think Isabelle and Cate Blanchett are the greatest
Isabelle huppert is honestly 10 best actresses of our time. She truly deserves the oscar for elle. I also love how chill she is.
Best actress ever ! She deserves an Oscar for all the roles she played in her movies !

Such a classy lady. I really hope she's finally gonna be nominated for Oscar next year
She did not win an Oscar for the piano teacher...
What else does she need to do?
Forget about the awards, she is a goddess, end of the story.
Arturo Sánchez well she finally got nominated
What an icon she is! Love her. One of the greatest of all time
They are so in awe.
I have always loved Meryl Streep, beguiled by Kate Winslet, mesmerised by Catherine Duvet,.......

Is not that you lose consciousness when you act, you just spread it into frames of the movie. Frames of Love ; )
