French director Rebecca Zlotowski brings her flair for drama to more charmingly airy material as she pairs with Hollywood royalty Jodie Foster. Foster impressively turns to French for this compellingly zany mystery drama. She plays psychoanalyst Lilian, who is knocked off balance by the suicide of her patient (Virginie Efira, Call My Agent!). Yet when her ex-husband (Mathieu Almaric) and her daughter (Luàna Bajrami) lead her to suspect foul play…
A Private Life quickly becomes a cosy crime caper with ripe psychological overtones. Anyone who loved Hitchcock’s psychoanalytic dramas will delight in the unfolding of this mystery.
