Isabelle Huppert is probably my favourite of all the great actresses French cinema has produced. She first came to my attention with the Lacemaker and is known to Hollywood as the woman in Heaven's gate. This site is almost as elegant as Isabelle herself. I also enjoyed her Violette Noziere which was directed by the French Hitchcock Claude Chabrol. I last saw her in the excellent I Heart Huckabees
So if you are going to be alone this Valentines - rent a decent Isabelle Huppert movie and succumb to the enigmatic French siren. Madame Bovary is a role that shows her at her best.
