FILM NOTES
A sharp, stylish tale of wealth, influence and irresistible temptation.
Inspired by the extraordinary real-life scandal surrounding Liliane Bettencourt, Thierry Klifa’s The Richest Woman in the World transforms fact into something slyly theatrical. At its centre is a woman accustomed to control, suddenly drawn into a relationship that disrupts not only her routines, but the delicate balance of power surrounding her. The film unfolds with a knowing sense of spectacle, moving through grand interiors and private intrigues with equal confidence.
There’s a delicious tension in watching alliances shift and suspicions quietly gather. Rather than leaning into heavy drama, the film embraces a darker, more playful tone, allowing its characters to reveal themselves through gesture, glance and carefully chosen words. Anchored by a magnetic performance from Isabelle Huppert, it becomes a study of influence — who holds it, who wants it, and how easily it can slip from one hand to another.
