Isabelle Huppert discusses Spanish cinema vitality while starring in Castellucci's 'Berenice' and new film

French actress Isabelle Huppert recently performed in Romeo Castellucci's experimental production of 'Berenice' at Madrid's Teatros del Canal. This Friday, she appears in 'La mujer más rica del mundo,' a new film release. Huppert described Spanish cinema as enjoying robust vitality, emphasizing her praise is genuine rather than mere flattery. The actress has consistently chosen challenging roles throughout her career, including Paul Verhoeven's 'Elle,' which earned her an Oscar nomination. While known for working with radical filmmakers worldwide and collaborating with France's greatest directors, Huppert occasionally participates in more mainstream projects. Her performance in Castellucci's reimagined 'Berenice' required three consecutive days on stage. Huppert's career demonstrates a pattern of risk-taking that has established her as one of European cinema's most significant performers. The article references Alejandro Amenábar's 'Tesis,' a film that transformed Spanish cinema thirty years ago.
