Isabelle Huppert to Head Cannes Jury

French actress Isabelle Huppert will head the jury of the 62nd edition of the Cannes Film Festival. Huppert has starred in more than 90 films, working with such illustrious filmmakers as Michael Haneke, Claude Chabrol, Christophe Honoré, and David O. Russell (I Heart The Huckabees).  Huppert has previously served on the Cannes jury and twice won the best actress award at the prestigious festival, for Haneke's The Piano Teacher in 2001 and Claude Chabrol's Violette in 1978.

"I am very glad and very proud," Huppert said in a statement. "This will definitely seal my love for the festival and thus for global cinema."
