'Vie Privée,' a French thriller with Jodie Foster, earned an eight-minute standing ovation at its Cannes premiere on Tuesday.

“Vie Privée,” a mystery about a psychotherapist who becomes convinced that her patient’s suicide was actually a murder, scored a eight-minute standing ovation at its Cannes Film Festival premiere on Tuesday night as Jodie Foster embraced director Rebecca Zlotowski after the screening. Several of her films have also premiered at the festival, including “Taxi Driver,” which won the Palme d’or in 1976, as well as 2016’s “Money Monster,” a thriller with George Clooney and Julia Roberts, and 2011’s Mel Gibson drama “The Beaver,” both of which she directed. Foster’s co-stars include Daniel Auteuil, who plays her ex-husband, and Virginie Edina, who portrays a mysterious patient whose death triggers her investigation.
