Isabelle Huppert may be showing a few years but she is still one of the most earnestly beautiful women today. She plays a wealthy executive, who by chance, connects with a Parisian street hustler and falls immediately in love. Their relationship is at Quentin's whim and she obsessively tries to make him hers.Classically French, the film focuses on the characters with the plot being secondary. And, once again, Huppert proves herself "incomparable" in her craft.
Follow Ups:
I just saw 'The Piano Teacher' and another Huppert film. I think these push the 'character development over story line' idea a bit too far. They seemed to become conceptually opaque needlessly. I haven't seen 'The School of Flesh' yet.I generally love Huppert's work, and always find her facinating to watch, but I wouldn't mind a little more attention to writing in the storyline. Take 'The Hairdresser's Husband' [not a Huppert film] for instance.
What was the Hal Hartley film with Isabelle Huppert and Martin Donovan? I thoroughly loved that one too.
