Isabelle Huppert over 4 years ago

She is definitely one of my favorites, if not my favorite actress. I love her, she’s amazing. I’d recommend: La Pianiste (arguably her best performance), La Ceremonie, La Vie Promise, 8 Femmes, Madame Bovary, Une Affaire de Femmes, Entre Nous.

Has anyone seen any of her newer films like Private Property, Home, or The Sea Wall?

I have lost faith in the majority of the younger generation. over 4 years ago

Drew I know how you feel. I’m 16 and seriously none of my friends watch the same movies I watch. They have no idea who Godard, Truffaut, Hitchcock, etc. are. Every time I’m talking about movies, it feels like I’m talking to a wall. Instead I talk with my French teacher. She’s the only person at school, that I know watches the same movies. My friends always ask me what movies we’re talking about and when I tell them they always say they’ve never heard of it.
