The film and television industry is still in the cold winter, not to mention that the "legacy" of the traffic era still exists, good actors and good acting skills are becoming less and less, and the audience is helpless to be played. Previously, Hao Lei had directly attacked the childishness of the current actor's acting skills and their marketing in an interview, saying that "what explosive acting skills are very ridiculous", and mentioned that she believes that the world-level acting benchmark - Isabelle Hupper.

Who is Isabel Huppel, who can be revered by the stubborn Hao Lei as "the most capable actress in the world"? In France, there are actually two "Isabels" who can act, one is Adjani, who is known as the "first beauty of France", and the other is located in Pell. She is the well-deserved queen of literary films in the French film industry. Some time ago, this "evergreen" just celebrated her 68th birthday.

Not only Hao Lei, Zhou Xun also said that Yu Peier is her idol, and bluntly said, "Isabelle Hupel, who is still active on the screen in France at the age of 64, is my idol, and I hope that I can continue to act like her, and when I am old, some people still like to see me." And Zhou Xun is also the actress who is most likely to be close to Pell in Uncle Oxygen's heart.
Recently, Xun Ge'er has seen in the new endorsement of mobile phone advertisements, and the character temperament integrated into the scene is more reminiscent of Yu Peier in "Future Things". The goal and destination of the top actresses is yu Pelle?

New Wave goddess
Huppel, who has appeared in more than 100 films, has been nominated 16 times for a César Award ("French Oscar"), and after winning the film twice, he is still the holder of this record. And 21 films were selected for the main competition in Cannes. The theatre is extensive and prolific. There is a saying that inviting Huppel is equivalent to getting an admission ticket to the "Big Three in Europe" (Cannes, Berlin, Venice).

In 2016, a "She" directly won 18 post-film awards, and Yu Pell once again brushed the screen. She sees the performance as "venting her inner madness", and the combination of madness and calm restraint is vividly expressed in "Her". Director Paul Verhoeven said, "Before the camera stopped, Huppel would curl up on the floor, as if to shed the cocoon of the character, and everyone present was frightened by her." ”

Huper was also revered by many great guides. Jia Zhangke once said that Tai Peier is "the world's greatest actress" and praised her way of performing, saying that "look at the treatment of her gaze, where her gaze is turned, where she goes at what time, and also her control of time." For example, her control of silent time, the explosive power and sense of power brought about by the accumulation of time, including the change of instantaneous expression, the ability to instantly attack the emotions hidden in the depths of the heart."

Abbas had wanted to find a 95-year-old actress to film his "story in Italy," and Huppel joked: "Then it seems that we will have to wait a while." Abbas said, "I'm willing to wait another forty years for you," but now it's only a pity. And many collaborations with Charlotte, one of the standard-bearers of the New Wave, have also made him a representative figure of the New Wave.

Hupel is good at interpreting the dark side of various evils of human nature and forbidden relationships, and the hidden black desire slowly leaks out under the solemn and restrained face.
"I like to play unusual roles and make them as ordinary as possible, because we all know that tragedy and abnormality are often hidden in the norm. That's why I love this type of character — to embody conflict in the performance, to try to understand how good and evil coexist. Huppel himself explained.
A film critic for Le Monde once commented that Pelle "has an 'SM' stubbornness that we may never have seen in the history of French acting." Harneke, director of "The Piano Teacher," described Pelle as "extremely painful on one side and cold sanity on the other—no actor can combine the two so well." ”

"The Reflection of garbo's curtain on earth"
The same French woman, but also the french goddess of literature, Hupel and Adjani are two different neurotics. Adjani's appearance in her youth is typical of "Oriental skin + Western bone", which is more in line with the aesthetic orientation of the Chinese people. Huper is the type that tastes more and more as it gets older.

Adjani has a beautiful silhouette and beautiful facial features. However, the eyebrow shape has a large turn back and forth, there is a "cat" like mystery and arrogance, and the contrast between the clear light blue pupil color reflects a pure but hysterical beauty. Her fragility was wet and borderless. In the mature period, Yu Peier's silhouette was more noble, the facial features were simple and neat, and the eyes were mixed with ignorance and indifference. Her madness was sharply sober, with clear boundaries, more mundane.

The proportions and structure are very similar to Greta Garbo, the goddess of Hollywood's Golden Age, and the malicious Leicester calls Pell "the reflection of garbo's curtain on earth". The layout and shape of the bones and facial features are highly overlapping, and the transition lines of the forehead-nose-lip tip-chin are the same. They are exquisite like a noble and arrogant Norse god, sharing a divinity that the world has reached.

But Huppel has a wider jaw, a shorter face, and thicker bones, so she has a lot more pyrotechnics than Garbo. Garbo's cold temperament is stacked with classical architecture and delicate lines, while Hupel comes from its thinner facial lines. Huper is of average stature, not as majestic as Garbo, which can be seen from the head-to-shoulder ratio, and the neck is long.
Pan Hong, an actor of the older generation in China, is also a candidate who has been certified by Godard to play Garbo. It is still a similar classical architecture. But Pan Hong's jaw is tight, the chin and nose tip are short and upturned, and the large, round deer eyes in her youth have a sense of innocence and sweetness. In his old age, he transformed into a kind of compassion of Puji, not as delicate and trembling as Garbo, nor as strong as Hupel.

In the early days, the cheeks were plump, and the silhouette resembled a baby's face, and the benefits of the structure were not fully revealed at this time. However, the facial features are very colorful, and the thin and downward corner of the mouth contrasts with the ignorant round eyes, which has a sense of poignancy and confusion. Like a ghost doll, the temperament at this time is similar to that of the Spanish actress Medello in "Juneflower".
The 81st edition of La Traviata recorded her trait. Coincidentally, Garbo has also played the role of "La Traviata" Margaret. Whether it is an arrangement in the dark, or a similar work written in the bottom, it is intriguing.

After the baby fat is removed, the structure, facial features and face shape are still stable, and the proportion is still there. The facial features are thinner, and the temperament is cold and deep. Time is not the killer of beauty, it is just a blinding method that strips the skin, the bone structure collapses, and the facial features are not much better. Beauty in the end is the real beauty. Adjani was blindly tossing and turning, and the needle was stiff, and no director was willing to ask her out of the mountain anymore.
▲ Nostalgic ace change
Some people thought Pell's eyes were too hollow and pale. This is because Huppel has the "ambiguous" meaning that is common to the French, and like the corners of her mouth that are stagnant and seem to have words, she expresses various abnormal emotions in a blank space. But it can often give people the most direct and authentic experience of brokenness.
Now over sixty years old, Hupel's charm is still there.
