**Vie Privée** – 𝒊𝒏 🇫🇷𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 🇬🇧𝒔𝒖𝒃𝒕𝒊𝒕𝒍𝒆𝒔 🎬 **Date & Time:** Thursday, July 16th, Drinks at 7pm and Screening at 8pm 📽️ **Cinéma:** Luminor Hôtel de Ville, 20 Rue du Temple, Paris 4 🎟️ **Movie Tickets:** €5.50 – €12.00 [https://www.luminor-hoteldeville.com/movies/1000000193-vie-privee/?date=2026-07-16](https://www.luminor-hoteldeville.com/movies/1000000193-vie-privee/?date=2026-07-16) Lilian (Jodie Foster), an American psychoanalyst living in Paris, has her life upended by the sudden death of a patient. What begins as an exploration of grief soon spirals into intrigue: stolen files, suspicions of foul play, and unsettling echoes of the past. Determined to uncover the truth, Lilian turns sleuth—with help from her ex-husband (Daniel Auteuil)—in a delirious whodunnit filled with suspense, wit, and unexpected twists. Directed by Rebecca Zlotowski, A Private Life blends sharp thrills with a playful dose of dark humour, anchored by Foster’s magnetic performance.

Documentary screenings can take place in various venues across Paris such as cinemas, cultural centers, or even informal settings. Meetup enables you to find these events by connecting you with groups hosting such screenings.

Absolutely! You can join as many documentary groups as you wish. Each group may offer different events, allowing you to participate in multiple documentary screenings around Paris and diversify your experience.

Meetup facilitates connections but doesn't guarantee specific events will meet your interests. It offers tools to help discover and join diverse groups, but the availability heavily relies on local organizers.
