What can one say about the fabulous Isabelle Huppert. Probably the greatest actress in the last 30 years. No other actress seems to capture the roughness, the coldness, the reality of everyday life quite like Mrs. Huppert.

This book shows and portays in pictures the true Isabelle Huppert. Each picture is perfectly shot and shows true emotion and captures her presence that has stolen millions of fans all over the Globe. Beautifully put together collection of rare and unseen photos, this book is a steal for movie and photo lovers.

I've been a big fan since the early 80's and her performances keep getting better and better. French filmakers always consider her "The Movie". Even though some movies she starred in were not great productions, her acting alone is worth it.

Here are a few of her movies that must be seen:

Gabrielle (2005)-Very intense dialog driven
Soeurs fāchées, Les (2004)-A cold city person with humor
Vie promise, La (2002)-A lost soul
8 femmes (2002)-She steals the show even with such a cast
Pianiste, La (2001)-A must see, Only Huppert fits this role
Merci pour le chocolat (2000)-Ah! That great Hot Chocolate!
École de la chair, L' (1998)-Ah! The famous affairs and one night stand... or more!
Palmes de M. Schutz, Les (1997)-Inspiration and devotion
Cérémonie, La (1995)-Cold, Revengeful and plain Maniac
Séparation, La (1994)-You feel sorry for Daniel Auteuil (Another amazing actor)
Madame Bovary (1991)-The role that made her an International star
Une affaire de femmes (1988)-Guts and Courage
Cactus (1986)-Unsentimental but Magical
Coup de foudre (1983)-Pain, Anger and violent jealousy
Coup de torchon (1981)-Innocense and Free Spirited
Heaven's Gate (1980)-Her introduction to the US market
Loulou (1980)-Not a great film but Huppert and Depardieu steal the screen
Dentellière, La (1977)-This performance made her a major star in Europe
Valseuses, Les (1974)-Another "Let Loose" performance

Hope this helps out all of you that has never seen or heard of Isabelle Huppert. Once you've seen a few of these films, you won't stop until you've seem them all.

From a huge Isabelle Huppert fan...

If you like the portraits style this book is great, there are lots of different views from excellent photographers. Beautiful book !
