A Private Life

When sophisticated psychiatrist Lilian Steiner (Jodie Foster) learns of the death of one of her patients, she is deeply troubled. Convinced it was murder, she sets out on an investigation that takes her across France. Rebecca Zlotowski’s latest film (Grand Central, An Easy Girl) combines the tension of a thriller with a sharp reflection on the place of psychoanalysis in today’s world. Jodie Foster brings depth and brilliance to Lilian in her first major French-language role in more than two decades.
