Jodie foster has plenty of the Oscars, Emmys, Golden Globes and More to Prove She Can About Anyding on Screen, and Now She Is Taching A Step Furt and Doing It All in French.
That part is not a huge surprise. On One OCCACON IN 2004 She Appeared in A Supporting Role Speaking in French In A Very Long EngagementWhich Starred Audrey Tatou. But now for the first time she has a starring roles in a French Production, Private (A Private Life), That Premiered Tonight Out of Competition as an Official Selection of the Cannes Film Festival, a Most Apppropriate Place to Debut This New Landmark in Foster’s Career Just Continues to dazzle.
Foster Plays Psychiatry Lilian Steiner, A Rock-Solid Professional Who Has Been Doing This Work a Very Long Time. But when she learns a longtime patient, Paula (Virginie Efira, Seen Largely in Flashbacks), Whom She Had Only Very Recently Seen, Had Suddenly Died, It Sends Her Bit of A Tailspin. What Could Have Happened? In Almosta Jessica Fletcher Fashion She Finds Herself Getting Deeper and Deeper into the Mystery, and Actually Turst up at Paula’s Funeral Where Among Others She Encaunters Paula’s Widower, Simon Cohen-Solal (Mathieu Amalric), WHO IS GRIEVING AT FLACT AND QUITE AND QUITE Unil Lilian Introduces Hersself as Paula’s Doctor at Which Time Simon Angrylly Talls HER TO GET OUT IMMEDIATEly. Shaken, she does but is now no less determining to get to the bottom of this. COULD SHE REALLY HAVE COMMITTED SUICIDE? SEEEMED FINE, AND IT APPEARS SO UNLICLY. SO, Was She MURDERED? This opens up all sorts of avenues to explore, and the screenplay co-written by anne best and its director rebecca zlotowski keep the game front and center.
Also in the mix is a playful Renewed land wen lilian’s ex-husband Gabriel Haddad (The Great Daniel Autteuil) Turst up, reigning their tit-for -thip and with him beComing sort of an Odd choice to part part, but that he dies, but he dies, Crackerjack Skene Right Out of Nancy Drew Where Lilian Must Find a Key Document Central to Her theory of A Possible Homicides, and that Means the Pair Drum A Plan to Break Simon’s Home. They Drive up there on a dark night and evening Spot Him naked and entwined with a Woman on the deck. Gabriel knacks on the door with the plan to be him for help in getting his started again as he fucki running out of gas. This is a rural neighborhood with no gas station in sight. Simon actually aggrees and takes Him to the garage. Lilian Jumps Into Action, ENERS The House and Starts Snooping AROUND. Zlotowski and foster have a lot of fun with this, ratcheting up the suspens, and it is just one example of why this movie is so fun to watch, an adult, grown-up Entertainment with some beloved stars-from the France-that
What Keeps It from Becoming Just a Standard Mystery is the Complexity of Foster’s Lilian, A Woman who in Trying to Find Out What Happened to A Patient She Saw For Nine Years, One Simon Talls “You Knew Her Better than About what she has hay been doing for so long. It gets surreal at one point we a felini-esque dream sequence, Positively Freudian, is set at a concert where Lilian and Paula appeaar, as well as simon as Conductor, and it is all work up in holocaust themes. SINCE THIS IS Essentially a Mystery, at Least One Aspect of it, it is best to let the viewer find out for the saysels where it all goes.
Foster is amazing with pitch-perfect french so good you would be too. Of Course She is Big American Star Jodie Foster acting In French Against This Terrific Cast of Veteran French Stars, and She Doesn’t Miss a Beat in Either the Darker Moments or Some of the Lighter Ones, Particularly Opposite Auteuil. You almost want to see her make another movie just with Him. AS USUAL, AMALIC IS WONDERFULY WEIRDLY WATCHABLE, AS ANOTHER FRANCH STAR VINCENT LA COSTE WHO NILEY PLAS LILAN’S Son Julien, and Others.
The film LOOKS Sensational with Crisp Cinematography from Georges Lechaptois and High Production Values Across the Board. This Movie Almost LOOKS LIKE IT IS FROM ANOTHER TIME AND NO DOUBT IT SHOULD A NICE SUCCESS FOR SONY Pictures Classics in Reaching the underserved Older Moviegoing that will will this up.
