Daniel Auteuil, Virginie Efira, Mathieu Amalric, Vincent Lacoste, and Luana Bajrami have been revealed as supporting cast members in Rebecca Zlotowski’s murder mystery film Vie Privée, starring Jodie Foster.

The production has also disclosed the film’s storyline, which centers on renowned psychiatrist Lilian Steiner, portrayed by Foster, who conducts her own investigation into the death of a patient she believes was murdered.

This news about the supporting cast and plot comes as filming progresses, running from September 30 to November 22 in Paris and Normandy, now entering its third week.

This feature marks Zlotowski’s sixth film, following her Venice Golden Lion contender Other People’s Children, along with An Easy Girl, Planetarium, Grand Central, and Dear Prudence.

Zlotowski co-wrote the screenplay with Anne Berest, known for her work on Audrey Diwan’s Venice Golden Lion winner Happening and Other People’s Children, as well as her long-time collaborator Gaëlle Macé.

The film is produced by Frédéric Jouve at Les Films Velvet and co-produced by France 3 Cinéma. Goodfellas is managing international sales, while Ad Vitam has pre-acquired the French rights.

Efira recently starred in Other People’s Children and has appeared in Valérie Donzelli’s Just The Two Of Us and Paul Verhoeven’s Benedetta.

Amalric was recently featured in Amos Gitai’s Why War and Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Serpent’s Path. Auteuil, who won a BAFTA for Jean de Florette and the Cannes best actor award for The Eighth Day, has just completed the courtroom drama An Ordinary Case, which he starred in and directed.

Lacoste’s filmography includes Lost Illusions, Winter Boy, and Beating Hearts, while rising actress Bajrami gained attention in Portrait of a Lady on Fire and has since starred in Happening and A Difficult Year.

She attended the French Lycée in Los Angeles, speaks fluent French, and has strong ties to France dating back to her youth.

At 15, she appeared alongside Jean Yanne and Bernard Giraudeau in Éric Le Hung’s 1977 film Stop Calling Me Baby! (Moi, Fleur Bleue).

She also co-starred with Sam Neill in Claude Chabrol’s 1983 English and French language WWII drama The Blood of Others and had a supporting role in Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s wartime romance A Very Long Engagement in 2005.

The Oscar-winning actress is a regular at Cannes, where she received an Honorary Golden Palm in 2021. Her role in Vie Privée was first reported by Variety, along with Auteuil’s participation in the film.

This French role comes shortly after Foster’s Emmy win for her performance in HBO’s True Detective: Night Country.

The actress, who has won two Oscars for Best Actress in The Accused and The Silence of the Lambs, triumphed at the primetime TV awards in September, winning Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Anthology Series or Movie category.
