I’ve been a fan of La Huppert since I first saw her in Heaven’s Gate, which I watched on a rainy Sunday afternoon in a nearly deserted Savoy One cinema. Little did I imagine that some years later I’d get to interview her in front of a packed audience in Lighthouse One.
She was regal, though I did manage to get a couple of laughs out of her. It was an amazing experience.
