When a patient’s suicide sparks suspicion of murder, psychiatrist Lilian Steiner (Jodie Foster) embarks on an investigation through Paris to uncover a truth that everyone else wants to keep hidden.
Lilian enlists her charming, ophthalmologist ex-husband (Daniel Auteuil) to help her navigate a dangerous rabbit hole of secrets and lies. Drawing stylistic inspiration from the sleek capers of Hitchcock and De Palma, Zlotowski balances detective thriller tension with a wickedly dry sense of humour.
Featuring a top-tier French cast, including Mathieu Amalric (The Phoenician Scheme), Virginie Efira (Other People’s Children), and a cameo from legendary documentarian Frederick Wiseman (In Jackson Heights, Law and Order), the film is a triumphant, tongue-in-cheek mystery that proves Foster remains one of cinema’s most magnetic forces.
