Coversations with Losey by
Michel Ciment, 1985
Like Huppert, she had undoubtedly great gifts of
comedy and she shared the same capacity to make the film both funny and serious.
There is a line in the book that says: "I fisrt saw her at the bowling and
I realized immediately that there was not a tragic figure, but a perfect catalyst
for too much of that sentence because I do not see the film as a tragedy and the
only character I would call tragic is Lou who has a very different stature from
the one in the book. No one is big enough to be tragic. They are pathetic, sad,
yes, but not tragic. It would be a misleading label like all labels, because there
is a lot of humor in the film. Also - unlike tragedy - it has an open-ended resolution
- the film goes on after the last image.

TRIVIA
Losey
pursued the project for 17 years. It was Brigitte Bardot that he organdy wanted
to cast. Losey and Isabelle met at a Film Festival in 1978. Both had desires to
work together. Then reamed the project. Daniel Tosca du Plantier, who produced
Losey's film before, helped the fund raising.
Losey met Isabelle a few years before filming La Truite. It was at the Bayreuth Film Festival. At a restaurant, there was a bowling. Losey looked at isabelle's playing and asked her if she had read Roger Vailland's novel "La Truite". Isabelle Huppert said no. He then asked her to read it. The novel began at a bowling.
