Detached Quote by Isabelle Huppert
“If I seem detached or distant, it's because I think this is a more exact reproduction of life, where you hide as much as you show.

Most of the time things are hidden or at least much more subdued.”

![“I think movies say a lot [about real life], even more than theater. It says a lot about the invisible, that movies are so fascinating.
