Isabelle Huppert to Receive Lumière Award at Thierry Fremaux’s Festival
Beloved French actor Isabelle Huppert will receive the Lumière Award in the city of Lyon in October.
She’s also worked with celebrated international filmmakers such as Otto Preminger in 1974 with “Rosebud”, Rithy Panh (“the Sea Wall”) and Brillante Mendoza (“Captive”), as well as Korea’s Hong Sang-soo, with whom she has shot three films including this year’s Silver Bear winner, “A Traveler’s Needs.” Huppert made her first foray into Hollywood in 1980 with Michael Cimino “Heaven’s Gate.” Working largely in independent and small-budget cinema in the U.S., she has collaborated with the likes of Curtis Hanson (“The Bedroom Window”), Hal Hartley (“Amateur”), David O. Russell (“I Heart Huckabees”) and more recently Neil Jordan (“Greta”) and Matthew Weiner in Amazon’s “The Romanoffs.” She’s worked with renowned directors such as Bob Wilson, Krzysztof Warlikowski, Jacques Lassalle and Romeo Castellucci, and to interpret contemporary authors like Florian Zeller and Yasmina Reza.
