Villa Amalia
BAFTA award-winner, Cannes Best Actress and César Award-winner Isabelle Huppert (The Pianist, 8 Women) stars opposite Jean-Hugues Anglade (Taking Lives, La Reine Margot) in her fifth collaboration with director Benoit Jacquot.
Villa Amalia is an assured and intriguing exploration of the experiences of a woman who abandons her career and cashes in her possessions to head off towards an unknown future.
Legendary French screen actress Isabelle Huppert headlines this sumptuous, passionate tale, adapted from the acclaimed novel by Pascal Quignard (‘All the Mornings of the World’).

Goading herself to new extremes, she embarks on a journey that ultimately takes her to an isolated villa on the secluded island of Ischia, Italy where a chance encounter with a local woman opens a new facet of her life.
