Jodie Foster Walks Cannes Carpet for French Murder-Mystery ‘Vie Privée’
- Jodie Foster appeared at the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday evening to promote the French-language thriller Vie Privée, directed by Rebecca Zlotowski.
- Foster took the role because she found the murder-mystery story irresistible and was drawn by Zlotowski's rigorous six to seven-hour script review process.
- In Vie Privée, Foster plays Lilian Steiner, a psychiatrist investigating a patient’s suspicious death amid personal and professional challenges.
- The film received a 10-minute ovation at Cannes and features a whimsical score by composer Rob, with Foster’s first French-language role in two decades.
- Foster expressed a preference for directing over acting but noted the difficulty in securing financing, while emphasizing support for first-time female filmmakers through quotas.
