Acteurist Spotlight – Isabelle Huppert – Part 1: LOULOU (1980) and COUP DE TORCHON (1981)

1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Acteurist Spotlight – Isabelle Huppert – Part 1: LOULOU (1980) and COUP DE TORCHON (1981) For our first Isabelle Huppert Acteurist Spotlight episode, we watched Maurice Pialat's&nbsp;Loulou&nbsp;(1980), in which Huppert stars with Gérard Depardieu, and Bertrand Tervanier's&nbsp;Coup de Torchon&nbsp;(1981), in which she supports Philippe Noiret in a transposition of Jim Thompson's Pop. 1280 to French West Africa. We discuss our first impressions of these two late 20th century French auteurs, the cross-class romance and punk ethos of&nbsp;Loulou, and Huppert's venture into broad black comedy in&nbsp;Coup de Torchon, playing a pragmatist whose gradual awakening to the moral dimension of life is occasioned by her lover's descent into moral insanity.&nbsp; Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s: &nbsp;&nbsp; Intro.
