Virginie Efira, Mathieu Amalric, Vincent Lacoste & Luana Bajrami Join Jodie Foster in Rebecca Zlotowski’s Murder Mystery ‘Vie Privée’ As Plotline Revealed
The production has also unveiled the plotline for the film which follows renowned psychiatrist Lilian Steiner, played by previously-announced Foster, who mounts her own private investigation into the death of one of her patients, whom she is convinced has been murdered.
The supporting cast news and plot reveal comes as filming – running from September 30 to November 22 between Paris and Normandy – enters its third week.
Zlotowski co-wrote the screenplay with Anne Berest, whose credits include Audrey Diwan’s Venice Golden Lion winner Happening and Other People’s Children, as well as 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 handling international sales and Ad Vitam has pre-acquired French rights.
Efira starred in Other People’s Children with other recent credits including Valérie Donzelli’s Just The Two Of Us and Paul Verhoven’s Benedetta.
Amalric was recently seen 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 prize for The Eighth Day, is just coming off courtroom drama An Ordinary Case, in which he starred and also directed.
Lacoste’s credits include Lost Illusions, Winter Boy and Beating Hearts, while rising young actress Bajrami broke out in Portrait of a Lady on Fire and has since appeared in Happening and A Difficult Year.
