Isabelle Huppert: I disagree. She has always chosen her films based on the director. She has done American films before, and she has done comedies before. She has mentioned philosophy in interviews before. When asked if she could be one other person, she said that she wanted to be Simone de Beauvoir. That tells you a great deal about her! Doing the film furthers the fact that she is extremely intellectual with her own views and perceptions on things. The philosophy of art and film go hand in hand with various philosophies on life. I don’t think it dampens her reputation at all. I think it proves that she (as always) is willing at take a risk on a complicated script that she likes.
