Isabelle Huppert

Examinations of sex and class may be nothing new, but this remarkable feature is distinguished by Maurice Pialat’s clear-eyed scrutiny of human behavior. Starring Gérard Depardieu and an incredible Isabelle Huppert, Loulou is a riveting dissection of sexual liberation and the dynamics of power.

Starring Isabelle Huppert as Gustave Flaubert’s infamous heroine, Claude Chabrol’s Madame Bovary reinvents the period drama on an epic scale. The pictorial pleasures of the Oscar®-nominated costumes are filtered through Hitchcockian camera angles, revealing the unsettling ennui of provincial life.
