The MADAME Lounge

[Zu]

Because she's not the GREATEST WOMAN ALIVE and MOST THRILLING ACTRESS EVER for nothing! Post your Isabelle news, chat and favourite pictures of her playing incestuous mothers and sadomasochistic psychopaths RIGHT HERE!

Also, no idea where this is from but I'd DIE to see Louis and MADAME doing this on stage in front of my very eyes.

Thanks to this thread, I've just discovered that Haneke is doing another film with her in it to be out next year.

Yes indeed! 'Happy End'. I BET

 

[Zu]

I've probably already mentioned this elsewhere but this is the REINE DE TOUT thread so I don't care: has anyone else seen 'Valley Of Love'? FUCKING STUNNING and such beautiful, sensitive performances from Madame and Monsieur. Here's the trailer and oh God the music - which I'd quite forgotten about, but which almost certainly contributed to the terrible state I got into at the end of the film - has just sent me down Weepy-Su-C-Strasse

 

[Phoenix]

Isn't her next movie the Eurovision/Pâté movie? Talk about pandering.

I downloaded La Cérémonie after reading the book but never got around to watching it as the subtitles aren't working.

 

[jivafox]

I HAVE Valley of Love but NO SUBTITLES. :grr:

 

[jivafox]

I also have that ENGLISH ONE she did recently, Louder Than Bombs, but Jesse Eisenberg is putting me RIGHT OFF. She plays a mother who may or may not have driven her car deliberately into a wall. OF COURSE SHE DID.

Oh I know. She's always pandering. Very lowest common denominator is OUR IS

OUT!

 

[Zu]

Oh God you might as well spend hours trying to work out who put the BROKEN GLASS in someone's pocket!

WELL I WONDER

 

[RS]

I adore her but haven't seen any of her movie for ages. Which new ones should I look for?

 

[jivafox]

ELLE!

 

[RS]

Thanks!

 

[Eileen]

Louder Than Bombs was merely OK

 

[Zu]

I adore her but haven't seen any of her movie for ages. Which new ones should I look for?

Which ones have you seen already?

 

[RS]

I feel like I've seen a lot of her movies but right now I can only think of La Pianiste, 8 Women, Amour and Me and My Sister.

 

[Phoenix]

Just watched Elle, what a thoroughly unpleasant yet fascinating character.

 

[Eileen]

I'm watching one of her films right now. Valley of Love

 

[jivafox]

I'm watching one of her films right now. Valley of Love

I'm going to watch it this week. Thoughts?

 

[Zu]

I'm going to watch it this week. Thoughts?

Did you watch it in the end? Oh the final scene. The MUSIC

 

[jivafox]

Non, I couldn't find any fucking working subtitles. So I've ORDERED the DVD. Like a member of the ELDERLY.

 

[Zu]

Non, I couldn't find any fucking working subtitles. So I've ORDERED the DVD. Like a member of the ELDERLY.

Oh I still buy DVDs. MIND YOU...

 

[jivafox]

I buy the SPECIAL ONES I like. Mostly foreigns. So I'm not too begrudged at this

 

[jivafox]

I just couldn't wait so I rented it from Amazon and OHMYCHRIST

 

[Eileen]

I'm going to watch it this week. Thoughts?

Erm. It was merely OK.

 

[Zu]

IKR

The German I went to see it with claimed that it was a HAPPY ENDING because - SPOILER - Gérard came back

 

[jivafox]

oh DEAR.

I found it so SAD but also quite TERRIFYING. I've always been a bit scared about rituals to contact dead loved ones and the whole thing just UNNERVED me.

 

[jivafox]

 

[Zu]

By rights this slightly SALMONY effort should look quite awful on anyone but naturally Madame looked as FUCKING FANTASTIC AS EVER

 

[Zu]

 

[jivafox]

SLAY QUEEN! I wonder what she'll turn up in the Oscars in.

 

[Zu]

Well I've no idea what so-called LA LA LAND is except it sounds like a load of shitty whimsy, and I've come to distrust anyone called Emma, so I DEMAND A RECOUNT!

 

[ZZ]

I'll confess to not seeing a single one of her films (but it's a priority now) but just watching her speak in interviews, you can see what an intelligent and witty woman she is.

 

[RS]

What a beauty!

 

[jivafox]

I imagine she's looking a bit more

today.

 

[ZZ]

Her performance in this gif is better than anything Emma Stone has done so far on film.

 

[Phoenix]

I feel this would be appreciated here

 

[Zu]

 

[jivafox]

I watched that endlessly today
