Isabelle Huppert Says She Read the Script of ‘The Piano Teacher’ While Flying to the Vienna Shoot


Isabelle Huppert, the Oscar-nominated star of 'Elle,' took the stage at France's Lumière Festival for an insightful masterclass ahead of her tribute.

Isabelle Huppert, the Oscar-nominated star of “Elle,” spoke candidly about her career choices and made the audience laugh with her self-depreciating humor at a masterclass held at the Lumière Film Festival in Lyon. Claire Denis (“White Material”) and Francois Ozon (“8 Women,” “Mon Crime”), who have directed Huppert in several films, were sitting on the front row. Huppert reminisced about her experience working with Haneke, the Austrian filmmaker who directed her in several movies, starting with the highly subversive film “The Piano Teacher” in 2001.
