Isabelle Huppert will be president of Cannes Jury
French actress Isabelle Huppert will be the President of the Jury of the 62nd Festival de Cannes which will be held May 13-24, 2009.
After appearing in Faustine et le bel été by Nina Companeez, César et Rosalie by Claude Sautet and Le Bar de la fourche by Alain Levent, Isabelle Huppert, who studied at Versailles and Paris conservatoires, was noticed in Les Valseuses by Bertrand Blier with lead actors Gérard Depardieu and Patrick Dewaere. She was soon awarded the Suzanne Bianchetti prize as French revelation of the year for her performance in Le Juge et l’Assassin by Bertrand Tavernier. Leading parts followed rapidly, notably in La Dentellière by Claude Goretta and in Violette Nozière by Claude Chabrol, which allowed her to win the first of her two interpretation prizes at Cannes in 1978. In 1980 she starred for Maurice Pialat (Loulou), Jean-Luc Godard (Sauve qui peut (la vie)), Michael Cimino (La Porte du Paradis) and Mauro Bolognini (La Dame aux camélias), in 1981 she worked with Bertrand Tavernier again (Coup de Torchon, for which she was nominated as best actress at the Césars awards) and Jean-Luc Godard in 1982 (Passion). Isabelle Huppert is a faithful person, faithful to theatre where she never misses the opportunity to come back, staged by Bob Wilson and Claude Régy (she also was Friedrich Schiller’s Mary Stuart at the London Royal National Theatre), to the Festival de Cannes where she came more than twenty-five times in or Out of Competition, as a mistress of ceremony or as member of the Jury, to head a symposium or present the Palme d’or. She is finally faithful to her directors, from Claude Chabrol (Une affaire de femmes, Merci pour le Chocolat, Rien ne va plus, Madame Bovary, L’Ivresse du pouvoir and La Cérémonie for which she was awarded the César of best actress in 1996) to Benoît Jacquot (Les Ailes de la Colombe, L’Ecole de la chair, La Fausse suivante, Pas de scandale and Villa Amalia, which will be released in 2009). She was also directed by Christine Pascal, Raoul Ruiz, André Téchiné, Olivier Dahan, Patricia Mazuy, Christian Vincent, Michel Deville, Patrice Chéreau, François Ozon, Diane Kurys, Olivier Assayas, Liliane de Kermadec, Christophe Honoré and Claire Denis (whose next movie White Material will be released in 2009) as well as many foreign filmmakers such as Michael Cimino, Joseph Losey, Marco Ferreri, Alexandre Petrovic, Curtis Hanson, Paul Cox, Marta Metzaros, Mauro Bolognini, Andrej Wajda, Werner Schroeter, the Taviani brothers, Hal Hartley, David O’Russel and Rithy Pahn (with whom she just shot Un Barrage contre le Pacifique) who opened doors to an international career. 06.02.2009 | Editor's blog Cat. : actress Alain Levent Alexandre Petrovic André Téchiné Andrej Wajda Benoît Jacquot Bertrand Blier Bertrand Tavernier Bertrand Tavernier Bob Wilson cannes Cannes Cannes Cannes Film Festival chair Christian Vincent Christine Pascal Christophe Honoré Cinema of France Claire Denis Claude Chabrol Claude Chabrol Claude Goretta Claude Régy Claude Sautet Curtis Hanson Diane Kurys Director Entertainment Entertainment Every Man for Himself Faustine et le Bel Été Film Francois Ozon Friedrich Schiller Gérard Depardieu Gilles Jacob Hal Hartley Human Interest Human Interest huppert Isabelle Huppert Isabelle Huppert Isabelle Huppert filmography Jean-Luc Godard Joseph Losey La Fausse Le Bar Liliane de Kermadec Liv Ullman London Marco Ferreri Marta Metzaros Mary Stuart Maurice Pialat (Loulou) Mauro Bolognini Michael Cimino Michael Haneke Michel Deville Nina Companeez Olivier Assayas Olivier Dahan Paris Patrice Chéreau Patricia Mazuy Patrick Dewaere Paul Cox Person Career Person Location president Raoul Ruiz Rithy Pahn Russel Pahn Sean Penn Story of Women Thierry Fremaux Versailles Villa Amalia Violette Nozière Werner Schroeter PEOPLE
