Almost 45 years after the Brontë sisters, Isabelle Huppert reunited with director Andre Techines for a new film, The People on the Side, which opened in theaters on Wednesday. A feature film in which he plays a tech-savvy cop who entertains his new neighbors until he discovers that the man is an anti-police activist with a serious criminal record. A moral conflict then undermines his certainty.
To celebrate the film’s release, we invite you to take our quiz on the actress, who is currently filming The Richest Woman in the World, a fiction film inspired by Lillian Bettencourt’s novel. But before you try to identify her 7 roles, here are some secrets from the filming of The People Next Door.

The opening scene
People are relieved by the action of the neighboring police. For this scene, André Techiné was inspired by reality, the setting and the slogans, even if the director revisited and re-staged them. He says : “I wanted to photograph this sensitive, vulnerable part of the police in the opening. This hidden side has to do with the dysfunction of the profession, about which we end up talking relatively little.“
Who for the neighbors?
André Techiné thought of Hafsia Hertz and Nahuel Pérez Biscayart very early on for Neighbors and even wrote the screenplay for Gens d’à passant with these two actors in mind: “For a black block modus, lean and agile with a knack for swimming all over the place, Nowell struck me as physical. And then he took all the risks to get this badass character during the riots.“
