Huppert's first collaboration with Austrian director [[Michael Haneke]] was in ''[[The Piano Teacher (film)|The Piano Teacher]]'' (2001), based on the titular novel (''Die Klavierspielerin'') by [[Elfriede Jelinek]], who was named a [[Nobel Prize in Literature|Nobel Laureate in Literature]] in 2004. In the film, she played a piano teacher who becomes involved with a young and charming pianist. Regarded as one of her most impressive turns, the performance won her the 2001 [[Best Actress Award (Cannes Film Festival)|Best Actress Award]] at Cannes. [[David Denby]] of ''[[The New Yorker]]'' praised her work in the film, writing: "Much of her best acting is no more than a flicker of consciousness, barely visible around the edges of the mask. Yet she gives a classic account of repression and sexual hypocrisy, unleashing the kind of rage that the great [[Bette Davis]] might have expressed".<ref>{{cite magazine|url= https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2002/04/01/play-it-again-2|title= Play It Again|magazine= The New Yorker|date= 24 March 2002|access-date= September 3, 2023|last1= Denby|first1= David}}</ref>

In 2002 she acted in the dark comedy musical film ''[[8 Women]]'', directed by [[François Ozon]]. Jonathan Cruiel of ''[[The San Francisco Chronicle]]'' wrote of her: "Huppert has a reputation for her intense portrayals, and in ''8 Women'', she steals every scene she's in as the uptight, melodramatic, bespectacled aunt."<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.sfgate.com/movies/article/8-vibrant-actresses-bring-funny-whodunit-alive-2766631.php|title= '8' vibrant actresses bring funny whodunit alive|website= the San Francisco Chronicle|access-date= September 3, 2023|last1= Curiel|first1= Jonathan}}</ref> In 2004, she starred in [[Christophe Honoré]]'s ''[[Ma Mère]]'', based on a novel by [[Georges Bataille]]. She portrayed Hélène, a middle-aged mother in an incestuous relationship with her teenage son, played by [[Louis Garrel]]. She also starred opposite [[Dustin Hoffman]] and [[Jason Schwartzman]] in [[David O. Russell]]'s 2004 film ''[[I Heart Huckabees]]''. 

Huppert also worked in Italy (with directors [[Paolo and Vittorio Taviani]], [[Mauro Bolognini]], [[Marco Ferreri]] and [[Marco Bellocchio]]), in Russia (with Igor Minaiev), in Central Europe (with [[Werner Schroeter]], [[Andrzej Wajda]], [[Ursula Meier]], Michael Haneke, [[Márta Mészáros]] and [[Aleksandar Petrović (film director)|Aleksandar Petrović]]) and in Asia (with [[Hong Sang-soo]], [[Brillante Mendoza]] and [[Rithy Panh]]).

Huppert is also an acclaimed stage actress, receiving seven [[Molière Award for Best Actress|Molière Award]] nominations, including for the lead in a 2001 Paris production of ''[[Medea (play)|Medea]]'' directed by Jacques Lassalle;<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://fresques.ina.fr/en-scenes/fiche-media/Scenes00306/medee-d-euripide-mis-en-scene-par-jacques-lassalle-a-avignon.html|title=Médée d'Euripide, mis en scène par Jacques Lassalle à Avignon|date=10 July 2000|publisher=En Scènes|language=fr|access-date=29 January 2017}}</ref> and in 2005 in the title role of [[Henrik Ibsen|Ibsen]]'s ''[[Hedda Gabler]]'' at the [[Odéon-Théâtre de l'Europe]] in Paris.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lesarchivesduspectacle.net/?IDX_Spectacle=5830|title=Hedda Gabler|date=13 January 2005 |publisher=Les Archives du Spectacle|language=fr|access-date=19 February 2017}}</ref> Later that year, she toured the United States in a [[Royal Court Theatre]] production of [[Sarah Kane]]'s theatrical piece ''[[4.48 Psychosis]]''.
