Isabelle Adjani or Isabelle Huppert

Which do you prefer? Apparently both actresses were roommates in the 70’s, and since then Adjani now holds the record for most Cèsars for Best Actress (5), but in the past 10-20 years Huppert has seemed to eclipse Adjani for roles and Adjani has seemed to become a recluse and plastic surgery victim

You said it all, OP. They are different and there's no competition.

Adjani, for the film “Possession” alone. I like both but Adjani wins for me.

Adjani and I have the same plastic surgeon: I should know because I've met her in one of the hidden waiting room (busted!): Dr. Franck Trepsat.

Adjani is (or was pre-plastic surgery) much, much, much hotter. There’s that

For beauty Adjani, for acting roles Huppert. Ceremonie and The Piano Teacher blew me away.

Adjani for looks, Huppert for acting.

Which reminds me, I really have to see this some day:

Just kidding. They're both great. But I love that movie. But how could I not?

Isabelle Adjani has always been a great beauty and Huppert was beautiful when young. However, La Huppert is the only talented actress of the two.

Adjani looked radiant until about 10 years ago, but she is mostly inexpressive and whenever she has to perform a truly dramatic scene, she overacts in the most ridiculous way imaginable. She appears to think that looking gorgeous with either a disdainfully aloof or tearful expression, is all it takes to be an actress. I have never understood why she is so highly regarded in France.

Conversely, Huppert has always looked her age and couldn't play beautiful ingénue roles after the 80s ended, so she had to make an effort to develop her talents and avoid being forgotten. She is a versatile, engaging and extremely charismatic actress who successfully manages to immerse herself in whatever role she is playing, without looking like a caricature. It isn't any wonder that she is known as the French Meryl Streep.

So, I would say that one is a legendary beauty, and the other is a legendary actress.

I love Huppert in The Piano Teacher and Elle but they can’t top Adjani in Adele H, Possession, One Deadly Summer and Camille Claudel

I’m amazed that Adjani and Daniel Day-Lewis could be in a relationship for one AND have a kid together

Both are superb, but I have a greater fondness for Huppert. If only for remaining cool and collected while Lily Tomlin goes berserk in that notorious I ❤ Huckabees outtake.

Thank you!

I love La Reine Margot, but that's in spite of Adjani, not because of her.

I think Adjani has displayed a unique talent, passion, and beauty in her best roles. Huppert reminds me of Cate Blanchett: she often chooses interesting projects, but her acting mostly leaves me cold. I did like Huppert in a sad movie called "The Lacemaker" (1977): she played a disturbed young woman without any showiness or sentimentality.

Adjani (with her son) overdid it with fillers.

Adjani is one of the most beautiful women to ever grace the screen.

I agree, she’s stunning. I remember my art history teacher raving about Camille Claudel & how beautiful Adjani is. But Isabelle is the better actress imo.

Adjani is often curiously placid. But then so is Catherine Deneuve, I guess.

by Anonymousreply 36June 3, 2022 6:24 AM

Some argue that Adjani goes overboard with the emotions, although I can’t see Huppert giving as passionate a performance as Adjani in something like Possession or Camille Claudel. Huppert does a great deadpan but she can also come off as cold.

The only thing I've seen that features either actress is the subway scene in Possession.

Huppert is a good technical actress. But Adjani represents a movie star to me.

by Anonymousreply 39June 4, 2022 2:26 AM

Adjani is (or was?) a stunning beauty and went for broke in her performances which is always entertaining to watch. Huppert is colder and takes a lot more offbeat interesting roles, but there is an aloofness at times. I think I admire her more for her unique choices. It's very hard to maintain a career for that long and keep things fresh and she continues to surprise the audience with the films and roles she attaches herself to. That's a great quality for an actress to have.

Well huppert works so much. When you make so many films some of them are bound to hit, but there are also many not so great films in her filmography. Adjani has been incredibly selective and made many iconic performances such as queen Margot and Adele H.
