Isabelle Huppert stars in satire 'Die reichste Frau der Welt'

Isabelle Huppert plays Marianne Farrère, a wealthy businesswoman, in Thierry Klifa's satire 'Die reichste Frau der Welt', loosely based on the Bettencourt affair. The film follows photographer Pierre-Alain Fantin (Laurent Lafitte) who ingratiates himself with Marianne and defrauds her of nearly one billion euros. Her husband Guy allows it, while daughter Frédérique (Marina Foïs) fights back, eventually escalating to a national scandal. Huppert portrays Marianne not as a victim but as a woman who enjoys giving. The film is a fast-paced satire of an ultra-wealthy class seemingly detached from reality.
