Love stories are common in Hollywood, with tales of first loves even more ubiquitous.
The new film Our Souls at Night, starring Jane Fonda and Robert Redford, is a romance between two characters who have both lost their first loves and are getting a second chance later in life.
“It was a movie about two old people that have an extraordinary relationship, and that doesn’t come along that often,” Fonda told The Hollywood Reporter at the film’s New York premiere at The Museum of Modern Art on Wednesday night.In the adaptation of the Kent Haruf novel of the same name, Redford and Fonda play Louis and Addie, two neighbors who have both lost their spouses. While they’ve been acquaintances for years, the two don’t get to really know each other until Addie comes knocking on Louis’ door with an unusual proposal. She asks if he is interested in sleeping with her. The request is not sexual but an attempt for Addie to feel less lonely at night. Louis accepts the offer, and they develop a strong bond.
