Jodie Foster on Aging, Language and Letting Go
It was a very windy day at the Cannes Film Festival last year and I was about to meet Jodie Foster for a small roundtable interview with three other journalists on the rooftop of Hilton Hotel. Jodie Foster was attending Cannes to promote Vie Privé/A private Life, Rebecca Zlotowski’s movie in which she plays Lilian, a psychotherapist who becomes convinced that her client’s suicide was, in fact, a murder. It was her first-ever French speaking main role. The film got an 8-minute standing ovation at its premiere, something that doesn’t say much about the quality of the film, as a lot of movies get this sort of enthusiasm at the festival. But what struk me the most about this mystery drama is how unforeseeable it can be until the very end.
Film producer and founder of ADFR, she dreamed since she was little of having a magazine one day. Alongside her job as editor-in-chief, she writes the interview of the month. She loves animals, jazz music and films festivals.
