The Lumière Festival, which runs until Sunday October 20, is celebrating its 15th anniversary with an unchanged and winning formula (stars, previews and heritage). and an indisputable Lumière prize celebrated last Friday evening during a beautiful evening, full of charm and class.
Friday evening, the Lyon festival awarded its 15th Lumière Prize to Isabelle Huppert, one of the most mysterious and prolific French actresses.
An award that distinguishes fifty years of career and an international aura.
It was in a gold-colored finery that Isabelle Huppert received the 16th Lumière prize on Friday October 18 in Lyon, the birthplace of cinema, which rewards an exceptional personality every year since 2009.
A sparkle of circumstance for a discreet actress who, in just over 50 years of career, has managed to build an impeccable filmography and build an international reputation.
“What did I do to deserve all this? I only made films“, she exclaimed in assumed false modesty after collecting her prize from the hands of the Mexican director Alfonso Cuaron and actress Noémie Merlant.
I love receiving awards, I was told this one was special but I didn’t imagine it was so strong. What brings us all together here is this strange invention between light and darkness… One does not exist without the other. Cinema looks at me, it helps us live and it keeps our memory alive, it’s important. Tomorrow, this bright moment will be a memory forever.

What I experienced in Lyon during the festival exceeded my imagination. And yet I have a lot of imagination.
Alfonso Cuarón -Noémie Merlant: a real chic and shocking tandem to award the 16th Lumière Prize to Isabelle Huppert
Alfonso Cuarón declares his love to Isabelle Huppert thus:
“Isabelle Huppert is a path against silent anguish. She wraps us in a warm blanket, the warm blanket of intimacy. And she does it discreetly, mysteriously.”
Musical surprises were on the program, the always very classy Camelia Jordana delivered a very intimate and very moving version of the footesque ‘I Will survive, Sandrine Kiberlain revisited the famous “Nuit de Folie” which would be (we find it hard to believe it) Isabelle H’s favorite song while Julien Clerc naked especially from London, sang to her that it was “his preference”.
In short, to sum up the evening, what could be better than these words from the queen of the evening herself: A “luminous moment that will be a wonderful memory forever” We agree with you. And thank you for….this crazy Night!
With cinema I have traveled around the world, but not around the question
