Jetzt kommt Claude Chabrols "Geheime Staatsaffären" mit Isabelle Huppert in der Hauptrolle in die Kinos. Katja Nicodemus beschreibt in einer Hommage dieses Traumpaar: "Für ihn hat sie ihre Tochter, ihre Eltern, eine ganze Familie und sich selbst umgebracht. Sie hat gelogen, betrogen, geschossen und in sieben Filmen eine Menge Gift in der Welt verteilt. Seit fast dreißig Jahren zieht Isabelle Huppert mit Claude Chabrol in die Schlacht. Sie ist die Partisanin seines Kinos, eine Muse, Begleiterin und Verbündete mit wechselnden Waffen. Ausgerüstet mit tödlichen Pülverchen wie in 'Violette Noziere', mit einem Jagdgewehr wie in 'Biester' oder jetzt, als Ermittlungsrichterin in Chabrols neuem Film 'Geheime Staatsaffären', mit dem Paragrafenwerk der französischen Justiz. Manchmal, so Chabrol, träume er davon, Isabelle Huppert auf der Leinwand einfach nur ein Maschinengewehr in die Hand zu geben und sie alles niedermähen zu lassen."
