La Pianiste
The Cannes Film Festival Jury unanimously awarded Huppert the Best Actress prize for her audacious performance as a respected piano teacher whose cool-headed intellectual rigour masks a predilection for destructive sexual compulsions.

A talented music student, Walter Klemmer (Benoit Magimel), inveigles his way into Erika's (Huppert's) tutelage and gets more than he - and she - bargained for.

"Tough, ambitious, truly provocative.with a lead performance by Huppert that is quite amazing" Geoff Andrew, Time Out, London
