Isabelle Huppert stars in new French film All About Corinne
French actress Isabelle Huppert plays a movie extra in Marc Fitoussi's comedy All About Corinne, which premiered at the Locarno Film Festival.
Huppert takes on an unknown role
The film casts the renowned actress as a jobbing movie extra whose name is not recalled by others. This casting choice serves as the main joke of Marc Fitoussi's industry satire. Huppert forces headshots and resumes into the hands of higher-ups on set.
Kiberlain plays herself in the film
Co-star Sandrine Kiberlain appears as an imperious foil while playing a version of herself. Both actresses send themselves up in contrasting ways to create the story. Their performances lend weight and feeling to the frothy exercise.
Movie seeks global arthouse distribution
The film is expected to secure global arthouse distribution following its festival run. It began as Locarno's closing night selection before moving to Toronto and Busan. Audiences familiar with Call Your Agent may appreciate the good-humored brand.
