A major figure in French cinema, Isabelle Huppert has appeared in more than 150 films since her debut in the late 1960s. Known to the public for her role in Claude Goretta’s The Lacemaker (1977), she quickly established herself as one of the most sought-after and respected actors of her generation. Awarded with two Césars for Best Actress, a Golden Globe and several acting awards in Cannes, Venice and Berlin, Huppert left her mark on seventh art history with powerful roles in The Pianist, Elle and La Cérémonie.
She currently stars in Thierry Clifford’s new film The Richest Woman in the World, in which she plays an equally powerful and mysterious businesswoman loosely inspired by Bettencourt’s novel. Presented out of competition at the Cannes Film Festival before being extended to many other festivals, the film brings together a high-profile cast, with Isabelle Hooper opposite Laurent Lafitte and Marina Foys.
The highest rated movie is…
In 1976, Isabelle Huppert toured for the first time under the direction of Bertrand Tavernier. Early in her career, in The Judge and the Murderer, she plays a young peasant girl at the heart of a historical and social drama starring Philippe Noiret and Michel Galabrue. If his role is secondary, it already reveals the accuracy and restraint of the actor, who is destined to leave a lasting mark on French cinema.
His collaboration with Tavernier resumed only once, in 1981, with Coup de torchon, an adaptation of Jim Thompson’s novel 1275âmes, where he shared a score with Philippe Noiret and Jean-Pierre Mariel. This time Hooper plays the main role in this cult film.
With over 1418 ratings and nearly 144 reviews, The Judge and the Assassin shows a rating of 4 out of 5 on AlloCiné, the actor’s filmography.
Viewers’ opinions
Ykarpathakis157 (5/5): “The Judge and the Murderer is a strange and ironic title for this film. It doesn’t represent what your mind would immediately lead you to believe. It’s about the arrest and trial of a psychopath in the style of the great French auteur. It bears a striking resemblance to Lacombe Lucien, who produced Galacom Lucien’s play two years earlier. The Serial Killer and His Trial An exploration of the spirit of the French nation at the beginning of the last century, anti-Semitism, defiance and the tyranny of France and the Church can make Tavernier mad and murderous before the tradition of my favorite actor, Philippe Noir.My favorite director’s new wave, Peace to your soul, Mr. Bertrand Tavernier.
Shephard69 from Club Allociné (5/5): “A wonderful face-off between Philippe Noiré at the height of his reputation and Michel Galabru, who gives what is undoubtedly one of his most amazing performances, where he looks completely agitated, disturbing, almost dangerous. The first part showing Joseph’s blood, and then the second part showing Joseph’s blood. Judge Rousseau’s recognition A search for evidence that, thanks to excellent staging, shows the difficulty of such an investigation, especially how to determine whether a serial killer is insane or responsible for his actions.
Dahbou (5/5): “One of Tavernier’s best films, crafting a tale of ambition without the navel-gazing. Taking on all the codes of a detective, the film initially feels like a thriller before subtly shifting to madness and ambition, rewriting an entire era, unlike what was ‘the most fashionable of his roles’, which he fully inhabits opposite the equally remarkable Philippe Noir.”
ClashDoherty (5/5): “What can we say in the face of such perfection? Perfect actors (Noire, Brail, Huppert, as we know, are always perfect, but to see Michel Galabru in such a grand role in such a dramatic role is a marvel for moviegoers). His life (was deservedly awarded a Caesar).
A meticulously complete reconstruction of France in the late 19th century, both socially and politically. This film is also a great look at a deranged and bloodthirsty serial killer, albeit a dramatically disappointing one. You must see “The Judge and the Murderer” at any cost. The best tavern “Let the party begin” and “L.627”. Look how eclectic and talented this director is!”
E.nigma (5/5): “Another masterpiece. A psychological conflict between a narrow-minded judge and a simple murderer. The morality in this film is serious, it questions the pressure and depravity of society, which is busy solving its problems by searching for criminals in an absolute way to justify the crimes indirectly provoked by ten children, murderers, ten serious, ten serious killers When provoked.Poverty and social conditions worsen, thousands of children die in coal mines, etc. Can people stigmatize themselves to free their conscience.
