‘Vie Privée’ Review: A Remarkable Jodie Foster Is Trying To Solve A Mystery, And She’s Doing It Completely In French – Cannes Film Festival


A review of Vie Privée, in which Jodie Foster shows her fluency in the language in her first starring role in a French film. A cast of veteran stars.

But now for the first time she has a starring role in a French production, Vie Privée(A Private Life) which premiered tonight out of competition as an official selection of the Cannes Film Festival, a most appropriate place to debut this new landmark in Foster’s career which just continues to dazzle, It gets surreal at one point where a Fellini-esque dream sequence , positively Fredian, is set at a concert where Lilian , and Paula appear, as well as Simon as conductor and it is all wrapped up in Holocaust themes. Cast: Jodie Foster, Daniel Auteuil, Mathieu Amalric, Virginie Efira, Vincent La Coste, Frederick Wisman, Irene Jacob, Luana Bajrami.
