Fonda And Keener Interview.. Will My Sons Ever Move Out.. Grace Jones' Performance

Tuesday, June 5, 2012
In the film "Peace, Love & Misunderstanding," Jane Fonda plays Grace, a pot-growing, free-loving, war-protesting hippie mom to Catherine Keener's Diane, an uptight New York City lawyer who has been estranged from her mother for two decades. When Diane's marriage fails, she shows up on Grace's doorstep in Woodstock with her two teens in tow, played by Elizabeth Olsen (younger sister of the famous twins) and Nat Wolff.

Directed by Bruce Beresford, "PLM" explores mother-daughter relationships, coming to terms with the past and the complexities of love and forgiveness. Fonda and Keener met with a small group of women reporters in New York Monday to talk about their experience.

"The reason I wanted to do the movie -- besides working with Bruce Beresford and Catherine Keener -- was I wanted to make a movie about love and forgiveness.
