In the captivating new film A PRIVATE LIFE (original French title: *Vie privée*), Jodie Foster delivers a riveting performance as Lilian Steiner, an American psychiatrist living in Paris whose orderly world unravels following the suspicious death of one of her patients. Directed by Rebecca Zlotowski, this 2025 black comedy mystery thriller blends elements of film noir with psychological intrigue, as Lilian becomes convinced the death was a murder rather than suicide and launches her own amateur investigation. Amidst her personal struggles—including family tensions and professional doubts—the story explores themes of isolation, obsession, and the blurred lines between reality and paranoia, all set against the elegant backdrop of Parisian life. Released in France in November 2025 and hitting North American theaters in January 2026 after a premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, the film has been lauded for its twisty plot and stylish aesthetics, drawing comparisons to Hitchcockian suspense. Rated R.
