Isabelle Huppert and Delphine Seyrig Bring to Life an Artist in the Exclusive Trailer and Poster for Liliane de Kermadec's Aloïse.

      The tides of cinema history have somehow overshadowed Liliane de Kermadec’s Aloïse, in which one character is portrayed by two of the greatest actors in French cinema. Isabelle Huppert plays the role of Aloïse Corbaz—a figure admired in the art brut movement but institutionalized for the last 46 years of her life, often seen as a pivotal outsider artist—during her youth, while Delphine Seyrig (who starred in Jeanne Dielman, produced by de Kermadec in the same year) depicts her in the later stages of her life. Using the original negatives, a 4K restoration was completed by TF1 Studio, La Cinémathèque française, and Cinémathèque suisse at Hiventy and Transperfect laboratories. Ahead of its Friday premiere at Metrograph from Several Futures, we are excited to exclusively unveil a new trailer and poster for the Paul Vecchiali-produced film.

      Here is the official synopsis: “One of the few female outsider artists to receive recognition from the early advocates of art brut, Aloïse Corbaz—born in humble conditions in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1886; institutionalized as a schizophrenic in 1918; and under psychiatric care until her passing in 1964—is depicted here by two of the leading European actresses of their generations: Isabelle Huppert, who portrays Corbaz as a contemplative and searching young woman, and Delphine Seyrig, remarkably dedicated as the older artist.”
