Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend · Jodie Foster · 19 Jan 2026 podcast

Yeah, I have a totally different personality.

I have the personality of somebody who's eternally frustrated that they can't communicate themselves well enough.

Oh, nice.

Yes, and drinking red wine.

Yeah.

I'm playing an expatriate in the movie.

So there's something about that.

You know, people that leave everything behind and they say my whole identity, everything that I am, my my past, my family, everything about me that I've always considered is me.

I'm going to leave that behind.

I'm going to break out and be a brand new person.

And in some way, very often, expatriates choose some fantasy version of what it would be like to be a French person.

You know, suddenly they're wearing a beret and their house is right on one of those lovely parks and they start telling you they're on vacation and that they can't do things.

But I thought that was interesting, an interesting thing to explore.

Like who wants to erase their past and become this new fantasy?

And what happens when you do that?

How do your relationships suffer?

And do you become... I think the irony is, and the film does have a lot of comedy to it, the irony is that this psychoanalyst, very Freudian psychoanalyst, which we make a lot of fun of her because of that, goes on this murder investigation thinking that her patient's been killed, potentially, and then very quickly realizes, oh no, she's just investigating herself.

So she kind of goes on through hypnosis and a number of things and starts realizing that

You know, that maybe she's not a great mom and that she, you know, there's parts of her relationship with her ex that she still has questions about.

So it's more of a self-discovery movie than it is a murder mystery.
