French Film Festival: A Private Life (15)
The screening on Friday 21st November will be introduced by Stéphanie d’Haussy from Alliance Française-Devon.
Dir. Rebecca Zlotowski, 2025, France, 103 mins. In French with English subtitles. Cast. Jodie Foster, Daniel Auteuil, Virginie Efira, Mathieu Amalric, Vincent Lacoste. Original title: Vie privée.
Rebecca Zlotowski’s anticipated follow-up to Other People’s Children stars Jodie Foster in a French-language role as Lilian Steiner, a renowned psychiatrist investigating the death of one of her patients. She becomes deeply troubled and is convinced that it was murder. She decides to investigate… Foster is joined by an A-list cast including Daniel Auteuil, Mathieu Amalric and Virginie Efira.
The director plays with the duality of tones: between deliberate comedy and deep dives into a personality full of grey areas.
A new landmark in Foster’s career which just continues to dazzle – Deadline
