00:00It's a huge, huge actress. She's the greatest actress we have, I think.

00:27I was very moved to see her masterclass today. It was incredible and funny.

00:33And to honour her tonight, it's very moving.

00:57My first film was probably Heaven's Gate, just on DVD. But I've been a fan since then, and then the Hanneke and everything.

01:07Would you like to be with her on a film one day?

01:12I would. I actually did meet with her in Rome earlier this year to talk about if she would maybe work on a film with me. So I would love it.

01:23Isabelle Huppert for you, what does she represent?

01:26Cinema.

01:28Your cinema.

01:30And a film with her at one point?

01:32That would be a dream. That would be incredible.

01:54It's a dream to work with her, and I'm very happy to be here tonight for her.

02:05It's a pleasure. I love this song. Night of madness. It's the night of madness. It's wonderful.
