Isabelle Huppert’s New Comedy ‘All About Corinne’ Lands U.S. Distribution

Cohen Media Group acquires U.S. rights to Isabelle Huppert‑starring comedy ‘All About Corinne’

French distributor Wild Bunch has sold the North American rights of Isabelle Huppert’s latest comedy, ‘All About Corinne’, to Cohen Media Group.

When Isabelle Huppert signed on for the lead in the French‑language comedy All About Corinne, industry insiders whispered that the film could be a surprise hit beyond the borders of France. The buzz proved well‑founded, and this week the picture’s sales story took a decisive turn.

Wild Bunch, the film’s worldwide sales agent, announced that Cohen Media Group has secured the U.S. theatrical and streaming rights. In a brief statement, Cohen’s co‑founder, Nicolas Cohen, said the film’s mix of sharp wit, off‑beat romance and Huppert’s unmistakable presence felt like “the perfect addition to our curated slate of auteur‑driven titles.”

Directed by the up‑and‑coming filmmaker Camille Roch, All About Corinne follows a quirky, middle‑aged Parisian who, after a series of comedic missteps, discovers that love and self‑acceptance aren’t always found where you expect them. Huppert, never one to shy away from comedic timing, brings a subtle, layered performance that critics are already calling a “delightful departure” from her typically more dramatic roles.

The acquisition marks Cohen’s latest foray into European comedy, a genre the company has been courting after the success of titles like The Hundred‑Foot Journey and La Belle Époque. The distributor plans a limited theatrical run in key cities—New York, Los Angeles and Chicago—before moving the film onto its streaming platform, where it hopes to attract both francophone audiences and lovers of sophisticated humor.

While the exact release date remains to be set, insiders suggest a spring 2027 launch, giving the film enough runway to build word‑of‑mouth momentum through festival screenings. For now, the deal signals that Isabelle Huppert’s star power continues to translate into commercial opportunities, even when she steps into lighter, more playful territory.
