Complete filmography

Biography

Student at the Drama Academy of Versailles, near Paris, Isabelle Huppert wins the Interpretation Prize for Un Caprice by Alfred de Musset. After studying Russian, she enters the National Drama Academy, where she follows Antoine Vitez’ courses.
Her cinematographic career begins with Faustine and the Beautiful Summer by Nina Companeez and soon lands minor parts in some of the most outstanding films of the 70’ such as Going Places by Bertrand Blier or The Judge and the Assassin by Bertrand Tavernier.
In 1976, the general public discovers her thanks to her performance in The Lacemaker by Claude Goretta. Two years later, she wins, at only 25, the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival for her performance in Violette Nozière by Claude Chabrol. From then on, Isabelle Huppert is engaged by the most demanding French directors, in particular by Jean-Luc Godard in Sauve qui peut (la vie) and Passion , then by Maurice Pialat in Loulou .
In 1981, she starts an international career thanks to Michael Cimino’ Heaven’s Gate . She is then directed by Jospeh Losey in The Trout and by Andrzej Wajda in The Possessed . In the same time, the success of Clean Up by Bertrand Tavernier and Coup de Foudre by Diane Kurys secure her popularity in France. Isabelle Huppert develops an intense collaboration with Claude Chabrol and becomes his fetish actress. Under his direction she plays Madame Bovary and impressed everyone in A Judgement in Stone , for which she received an Award at the 1995 Venice Film Festival.
Her career goes equally toward comedy with 8 Women by François Ozon or Me and My Sister by Alexandra Leclère as well as towards more dramatic films like The Piano Teacher by Michale Haneke (Best Actress in Cannes 2001), Les Destinées by Olivier Assayas or the more recent Ma Mère by Christophe Honoré.
In 2005, she receives a Career Achievement Award in Venice where Gabrielle , her last film in date, directed by Patrice Chéreau was screened.
