I've notice the same thing with Daniel Auteil. Everytime a French film is released here it invariably stars Auteil. I love Auteil and Huppert, but you would think there were no other actors in France

You said it!!! There are so many other actresses to see. While I admit Huppert is a fine actress, let's see some other women!! I guess it all has to do with distribution deals. What a pity!

I just caught Huppert in Chabrol's The Comedy of Power and her performance is a revelation, beautifully nuanced and shaded in ways that Hollywood actresses never will be. She's worth seeing in Time of the Wolf, too... and in everything.

ie; Isabelle Huppert…the answer is NO and I'm sure they can't.

I have to say I've never been able to warm up to this actress despite her credentials. I've only seen three of her films but as you noted she played characters that seemed determined to alienate the audience. In Chabrol's Violette she was a young murderess and rarely sympathetic; she's a pathetic sex-starved married woman in Coup de Torchon, and in The Piano Teacher she's a psychologically disturbed person who should be locked up (it was a performance you could admire without liking).
