Isabelle Huppert’s deliciously wicked turn in the light-hearted comedy may seem like a departure for the actor, but she doesn’t see it that way.
“I never really set up or defined a border between comedy and dramas,” she continues. “I think you can be very funny in dramas and very sad in comedies. Even in this film, my character has moments where she becomes more tragic than funny. And in the most serious films, you have always this double dimension between irony and drama. So I don’t say to myself, ‘I’m doing a drama, I’m doing comedy.’ I’m just doing a film – that’s it.
While Huppert has spoken in the past about being able to pick up a character and set it down easily afterwards, does playing a snooty fashion victim in a frothy, feel-good film ever feel like respite from the edgier roles she typically takes on? “For me, there is no difficult role,” she says.
Huppert springs most vividly to life when I suggest that her talents as a straight-up comedic actress are often overlooked, and that her performance inthe gloriously unhinged psychosexual thriller by Paul Verhoeven that delved into contentious subjects like mass murder, rape and sexually violent video games – was actually extremely funny. “Of course it is! Even“You couldn’t please me more by saying this, as I think all great roles have to be funny,” Huppert continues.
