If they weren’t there, the streets in movies would be empty. Offices and supermarkets would stand empty and desolate, and the screen itself would lose its vitality. And yet they must never stand out - never cast a shadow over the stars. They are the extras. Among them, Corinne, who has never let go of her dream of becoming an actress, still waits in a corner of the set for her moment in the spotlight. And the fact that this nameless extra is played by none other than Isabelle Huppert is the most delightful joke All About Corinne has to offer. With more than 100 films to her name, this living legend brings Corinne - caught between frustration and longing - brilliantly to life with nothing more than a look or a moment of silence. With his signature warmth and humor, director Marc Fitoussi of Call My Agent! casts a perceptive eye on the less glamorous side of the film industry, while Sandrine Kiberlain and Diane Kruger play themselves, rounding out a delightful ensemble. This autumn, All About Corinne arrives as a most welcome invitation, promising to fill the theater with laughter and heartfelt emotion.
