Citizen Jane Fonda

2020 · 53 min

A brisk, thoughtful portrait that moves through a star's many lives, mixing archival glamour with political reflection.

Directed by: Florence Platarets
Genres: Documentary
Starring: Florence Platarets, Jane Fonda, Brigitte Bardot

Overview: Very few Icons have at once embodied the Myths of their own country while revealing its contradictions: heiress of the Hollywood star system and muse of the French auteur Cinema, Academy Award winning actress and committed producer, feminist and aerobic queen, activist and fearless businesswoman… In a lifetime, Jane Fonda may have reconciled all the facets of America without renouncing her own integrity. Through her portrait, the film tells a social and political story while drawing the picture of a typically American phenomenon.
