Actress Isabelle Huppert, who won a Golden Globe for her performance in Elle Verhoeven’s "Elle", received UniFrances French Cinema Award (FCA) at a star-studded ceremony in Paris.
Hosted by Culture and Communication Minister Audrey Azoulay and UniFrance President Jean-Paul Salome, the ceremony brought together more than 12 filmmakers who came on stage to celebrate Huppert's success.
Speaking about the honour, Huppert said: "What amazes me with films or even plays is how they can stem from a very private moment, and the way in which they can find an echo and evolve from being infinitely small to becoming infinitely universal."
She added: "I realised through my trips how much people abroad love French cinema. Through all the recognitions that I have been receiving over the last few months, it's French cinema which was being celebrated for its audacity, transgression, subversion and ultimately its freedom."
