Jodie Foster stars as Lilian Steiner, an American psychoanalyst in Paris whose life is upended after the sudden death of a long-standing patient.

Convinced it was murder, Lilian throws herself into some amateur sleuthing, with her ex-husband in tow.

An elegant, unpredictable thriller laced with dark humour and Hitchcockian flair, A Private Life is a hugely entertaining delight.

Foster’s impeccable French and comedic skills are on full display in this mystery thriller, which sees her character journey down a rabbit hole to investigate a suspicious death.
