This year's Oscar season was a great one, with Emma Stone winning her first little golden man at the age of thirty.
Another 63-year-old actress with a French film rushed to Austria, but unfortunately lost.
Some people regret it, but the shop doesn't feel it.
She does not lack such a small golden person, in the hearts of countless fans, she has long been a god:
Nicole Kidman knelt down on one knee and gave her a kissing hand salute.
In the interview, Sister Lao mo did not hesitate to praise her as the best actress in the world.
Today, the shop wants to talk to you about this older and more beautiful woman-
Isabelle Huppel
She just turned 64 in March this year and is affectionately known as Aunt Yu by movie fans.
She has won two Cannes film queens, two Venice film queens, and has been nominated for the French César Award 13 times, becoming the actress with the most César Awards in history.
With these achievements, she became the deserved queen of French literary films.
This year, with her amazing performance in "Her", she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in the Drama Category.
In the film, Huper played Michelle, a strong and independent middle-aged strong woman with a successful career.
One day, she was sexually assaulted by a masked person who suddenly broke into the room, and struggled hard but was still powerless to resist.
After the criminal left, because of the shadow of her childhood, she did not choose to call the police, but calmly cleaned up the scene and threw away her clothes, as if nothing had happened.
Even when there was blood floating in the shower, she only gently brushed it away.
In life, other troubles are constant.
The mother raised small fresh meat, the son was wearing a green hat by his girlfriend, the subordinates spread sexual harassment videos in the company, and they were deliberately splashed with coffee.
In the face of all this, she did not see any panic.
Independent investigation of rapists and rumor-mongers,
To friends, calmly tell them the truth that they have been violated.
In the film, she may have some inner ups and downs, but she has always acted extremely calm and detached, and has always maintained a playful attitude towards life and everything.
However, she is not a good person.
Stuffing a cake with toothpicks for ex-husbands' girlfriends, making dates with her girlfriend's husband, and seducing next-door neighbors who may be rapists.
This is a woman who cannot be simply defined in terms of good or bad, and all her weightlifting is the result of struggling with the shadows of childhood.
She strives to control the course of her life, making a precise response to all sudden accidents.
Even if it is to reward absurdity with absurdity, to embrace desire with desire.
Unlike the indifference and strength of "Her", in "Future Things", Natalie, played by Hupel, is much calmer.
As a middle-aged intellectual, she has always been on the road of exploring reason and seeking knowledge, maintaining communication with young people and exploring the true freedom of life.
But when a series of blows such as her husband's cheating, her mother's death, and her work setback hit, she couldn't help but be confused and sad.
On the bus after her mother's funeral, she cried loudly, but turned her head to see her ex-husband walking side by side with her lover on the road, leaving only a dumb smile.
This laugh contains helplessness about life, teasing, and a little bit of pride.
It's already like this, what's the big deal.
Huper conveys the progression of several layers of emotion in the smile extremely wonderfully, without the slightest exaggeration or lack of emotion, just the right natural obedience.
In the same year, two completely different scripts, But Pelle fully excavated the common shining points of these two female characters -
Learn to face the constant loss, and realize that the course of life is always firmly in your own hands.
And this vivid control over the actor's characteristics and facial details comes from her refusal to reject the comers of various roles, and even favors those "bad women" who have a complex personality and a sad and lamentable fate.
A few years ago, director Chabrol contacted Pelle for his new film, telling her that he was working on a new film, "I need someone to play this perverted role, are you interested?" ”
Huper agreed on the other end of the phone.
The film was Violettenozière (1978), which won her first Cannes film.
She plays a bad girl in the film, black leather clothes and bright red lips are her standard, flirting with people, using a stolen wallet with a small white face, and finally embarking on the road of no return to kill her father.
When others accused the girl of cruelty, no one knew that the inside of this glamorous family had long since decayed.
Her mother was as harsh as a Puritan, and her father forcibly possessed her when she was 12 years old.
The red lips are protective colors, and the tears wiped alone under the shower head are silent cries and cries for help.
For the first time in this play, Huper really showed her charm and madness, and her mature acting skills made people imagine that she was only 25 years old.
The play opened her doors to different types of female characters.
And about Hupel's film career, the most famous summary may be that -
Of the 70 roles that Lieper had played earlier, 35 were naked and the other 35 were mentally abnormal.
In "Woman Rhymes", she plays a moving role in helping people to have abortions and giving prostitutes a landlord to the housewife who supplements the family.
In "Eight Beauty Diagrams", she played an old maid called the inner loneliness and bitterness, who lived in her sister's house but has been secretly coveting her brother-in-law.
In "Mother, the Limits of Love", she starred as a mother who was obsessed with giving birth to unrequited feelings for her son.
You can never seem to predict whether The next character Yupel chooses will be more shocking.
Some media have asked, will you dislike your role? She replied:
I like them a lot. I don't need to force myself to like them, but when I choose the script, I can usually see the innocent and likable side of these characters. To play them is equivalent to accepting a different self.
Of these crazy roles she plays, she is best known as the female teacher of 40 years of abstinence in "The Piano Teacher".
The woman, who had been abstinent from music for 40 years at her mother's request to dedicate herself to music, fell into the quagmire of lust after being teased by male students.
Her madness makes every moviegoer shudder and feel fear in re-examining herself.
One of the scenes that impressed The Shop is that she, who is ultimately in love with her students, chooses to kill herself with pity.
She thrust the knife edge at herself, a blood-colored rose blooming in her chest, and the pain made people show their teeth.
In order to restore the expression of the "horse's hiss" in the original book, director Michael Haneke consulted with her and filmed this section 52 times.
This vicious expression revealed the fierce but nowhere to vent the animalistic nature of the female teacher.
In 2001, Huppel won the Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival for "The Piano Teacher", setting a record for the first judge to unanimously approve the Best Actress.
On the podium, Huper said:
"Some movies make you timid, and you feel like they're going to take away everything you've got, and the result is to pay you all your efforts in return. I want to thank Bach, Schubert and Mozart. ”
Years of acting experience, this year has turned 64 years old, she still does not see the slightest trace of aging, always maintains an elegant smile, and her posture is as light as a girl.
It is hard to believe that she has participated in more than 100 movies, and after the age of 50, she still maintains the workload of at least 2 plays per year.
Someone once asked her, such a heavy trip and shooting task, how to stick to it? Is it by exercise?
She said, no, my sport is a nightly theater performance.
In 2001, in addition to completing 3 films, she also participated in a stage play "Medea".
In front of the people, the spirit is high and vibrant, and there is a calm and self-assured smile in the eyes.
After the play, she read the lines aloud, and the painful emotions swept through the tide, unable to help herself on the sofa.
The actor's emotional investment in the drama is a huge physical and energy drain, and it is not surprising that Hupel can maintain such a good figure.
In life, Huper is completely devoid of the gloomy paleness of the role she plays, and she seems to have endless vitality, either acting or on the road to acting.
The woman had sacrificed her life to the show.
For more than 40 years, she has participated in more than 100 films and countless stage plays, and only 6 have been rated below 60 on Rotten Tomatoes.
She said:
Actors are like bakers, I've never baked unpalatable bread, and no movie would put me to shame.
When the actresses of the same generation have retired, she is still like a stubborn lion, challenging each new role with her teeth and claws, and performing each difficult and complicated role in front of the camera.
Huppel once said that actors are not old.
When your wrinkles grow, all the bloody passion fades away.
There are also characters in the video, always transcending the beauty of time for you.
And she is undoubtedly the best interpretation of the two words of actor.
