Join us for the opening night of this year's French Film Festival with a sneak preview of Jodie Foster's latest film.
Rebecca Zlotowski’s anticipated follow-up to Other People’s Children stars Jodie Foster in a French-language role as Lilian Steiner, a renowned psychiatrist investigating the death of one of her patients. She becomes deeply troubled and is convinced that it was murder. She decides to investigate... Foster is joined by an A-list cast including Daniel Auteuil, Mathieu Amalric and Virginie Efira. The director plays with the duality of tones: between deliberate comedy and deep dives into a personality full of gray areas. In French and English with English subtitles.
