Presentation during the 22nd European Film Awards Ceremony

Whether playing a Jewish refugee in Diane Kury’s COUP DE FOUDRE, the late 17th-century Madame de Maintenon in Patricia Mazuy’s SAINT-CYR, or the magistrate Jeanne Charmant in Claude Chabrol’s IVRESSE DU POUVOIR, Isabelle Hubbert has brought to life some of the most unforgettable cinematic moments. Her frequent collaboration with Chabrol has produced characters such as VIOLETTE NOZIERE, Marie in UNE AFFAIRE DE FEMMES, MADAME BOVARY, and Jeanne in LA CEREMONIE. Both in and outside France, she has worked with directors such as Andrzej Wajda, the Taviani brothers, Jean-Luc Godard, and Michael Cimino, as well as Maurice Pialat, Michel Deville, Mauro Bolognini, Marco Ferreri, Benoit Jacquot, and Bertrand Tavernier.

Isabelle Huppert has won almost every possible award in her career, including the European Film Award for LA PIANISTE by Michael Haneke and for 8 FEMMES by Francois Ozon, a BAFTA and a David di Donatello for LA DENTELLIERE by Claude Goretta, a César and a Golden Bear, three awards at Venice, and the Best Actress award at Cannes twice.

In recognition of this exceptional contribution to the world of film, the European Film Academy presents the EUROPEAN ACHIEVEMENT IN WORLD CINEMA 2009 to Isabelle Huppert with great satisfaction.

Isabelle Huppert will attend the 22nd European Film Awards Ceremony as a guest of honor on December 12 in Bochum (Ruhr area).
