Jodie Foster just won a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in The Mauritanian, the third Golden Globe she has been awarded over a sparkling career. Foster portrays a principled attorney who puts her professional career on the line to defend Mohamedou Ould Salahi (Tahar Rahim), who was unjustly imprisoned without charge or trial for years on an American military base. It's a sterling performance, but hardly her first.
Recently the actress broke down scenes from her classic movies, including Taxi Driver, The Silence of the Lambs (for which she won both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award), Little Man Tate (also her directorial debut), Contact, and The Mauritanian. She provides eye-opening insights, noting the unique joys, challenges, and surprises of each role. Her enthusiasm makes us want to watch the films (again); happily, all five are available to watch on FandangoNOW, along with a number of her other films.
Enjoy watching the relaxed conversation with the personable Jodie Foster. And be sure to watch the outstanding drama The Mauritanian, available on FandangoNOW for your immediate viewing pleasure.
