This one demands a bit of set-up first -- Interview Magazine had Anora star Mikey Madison (seen above) chat with the French legend Isabelle Huppert in its new issue about Sean Baker's film, which Huppert was bowled over by when she saw it at Cannes (where it won the top prize) -- so far so cool. But since it's Isabelle Huppert and she's got the gravitational force of a black hole (I mean this as a compliment to Isabelle obviously) the high point of the interview, for me, was this nonsensical exchange between the two actresses:
MADISON: I want to apologize in advance if you hear barking or whining in the background. I just got a new puppy.HUPPERT: What’s his name?MADISON: His name is Jam.HUPPERT: James?MADISON: Jam. I have a cat named Biscuit, so I decided to call him Jam.HUPPERT: Jam, like jam?MADISON: Yes, like what you put on biscuits and bread.HUPPERT: I have a new cat myself that I’m completely in love with.MADISON: What’s his or her name?HUPPERT: Her name is very, very complicated. That’s the only bad thing about the cat. I don’t even call her because the name is unsayable, actually, so I say, “My love.”
The way Huppert can't comprehend the name "Jam" only to reveal that her cat's name is so complicated as to be literally "unsayable" is the funniest fucking thing I will see this week -- we might as well go home, this is the high point. Bless you, La Huppert!
