Two New Ferocious Stills of Jane Fonda in Peace, Love, and Misunderstanding

Once you put aside the silly Elvis Costello song title pun, the TIFF entry Peace, Love, and Understanding seems like an ideal project for all parties involved: Catherine Keener plays a conservative lawyer who, following a divorce from her husband (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), takes her kids (Nat Wolff and Elizabeth Olsen) to meet their estranged, hippie grandmother in Woodstock. That grandmother is Jane Fonda, whose new photos from the film should bring you back to a very specific, Oscar-garnering favorite from 1981. If you can't guess the movie yet, hit yourself.

First of all: JEANS FONDA. Second of all: The On Golden Pond sizzle coming off this project is serious. Not only is Jane sporting a whole lotta hair, much like in On Golden Pond, but she's assuming the jocular, yet ferocious sitting stance of one Katharine Hepburn. You thought of that too, right? Please observe the following magic:

Fonda's Tony-nominated triumph as the dying protagonist in the recent Moises Kaufman play 33 Variations -- in both its Broadway and L.A. incarnations -- has me torqued for a Fonda renaissance au cinéma. This better be it. Monster-in-Law and Georgia Rule shall not define Lady Jayne Seymour Fonda's* post-millennium legacy.

*Did you know that's her real name?
