For more than three decades shes been known as the Meryl Streep of France.
But who is Isabelle Huppert?
First of all, speaking ofwho, her last name is pronounced Who-pair.
Huppert, 63, has been nominated for the Cesar, Frances equivalent of the Oscar, 15 times.
Shes won only once, for 1995s mysteryLa Ceremonie, one of many collaborations with director Claude Chabrol.
Shes also appeared in multiple films of Michael Haneke, including his Oscar-winnerAmour.
But it was a 2001 drama by Haneke which was arguably Hupperts most famous film until now.
That starts us off with this quick cheat sheet in getting to know this brave force of French nature.
Many scenes including one with a razor blade are not for the faint of heart.
But the movie has a brutal power and Hupperts performance stays with you.

Huh?
The deep-voiced announcer gravely teases the appearance of Academy Award nominee Sharon Stone in this 30-second teaser.
That should be updated the next time the episode airs on TNT… probably tomorrow.
