"You think I'm responsible for her death?" "My father thinks so." Sony Pictures Classics revealed an official US trailer for a playful French noir comedy titled A Private Life, the latest from the award-winning French filmmaker Rebecca Zlotowski following her last film Other People's Children recently. It premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, then played at nearly every other major fest in the fall including TIFF and NYFF. A frisky, feminine, film noir about psychoanalysis and many other things... Now set for US release in theaters starting January 2026. Renowned psychiatrist Lilian Steiner (Jodie Foster in a kinetic performance) is deeply troubled by the sudden death of one of her patients. Convinced that it was murder, she decides to investigate. Along with Jodie Foster who can speak French, this half English/half French film also stars Daniel Auteuil, Virginie Efira, Matthieu Amalric, Vincent Lacoste, & Luana Bajrami.
