Isabelle Huppert: "I found it appealing to play a vampire." [premium]

This article features an interview with French actress Isabelle Huppert conducted by Die Presse am Sonntag during the world premiere of her new film, 'Die Blutgräfin' (The Blood Countess), at the Berlinale. Huppert discusses her collaboration with 84-year-old director Ulrike Ottinger, noting that she became familiar with Ottinger’s work after a retrospective at the Centre Pompidou. She describes the role of a vampire as enticing, citing the rich history of vampire films and the figure's inspirational potential. Huppert explains that the film takes a theatrical rather than psychological approach, moving between different time periods without clear historical anchoring.
