Sky Arte documentary 'Isabelle Huppert – Autoritratto' premieres September 23

Sky Arte will air 'Isabelle Huppert – Autoritratto' on Friday, September 23, a documentary blending cinema and real life. Huppert narrates her own story, reflecting on acting as interpreting people rather than characters. She recalls discovering cinema through Chaplin and Laurel & Hardy, her first roles on her father's Super 8 camera, and her training at the Conservatoire, where her mother enrolled her. She recounts meeting Yves Montand and Romy Schneider, and her debut in Bertrand Blier's 'Les Valseuses'. The film covers collaborations with directors including Claude Chabrol, Michael Haneke, Jean-Luc Godard, Paul Verhoeven, Maurice Pialat, Werner Schroeter, Benoit Jacquot, and Michael Cimino. Huppert discusses her rapport with Chabrol, filming with her daughter Lolita, and her relationship with theater, an art she calls 'wild' that 'burns everything in its path' but to which she always returns.
