Exactly 50 years since playing newlyweds in ‘Barefoot in the Park,’ Oscar winners Robert Redford and Jane Fonda have come together onscreen again for the fourth time in Netflix’s ‘Our Souls at Night’… this time playing a couple who find love unexpectedly later in life.
In addition to Redford and Fonda, the film stars Bruce Dern, Matthias Schoenaerts, Judy Greer and Iain Armitage.
Based on the best-selling novel written by Kent Haruf and adapted for the screen by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber (‘The Fault in Our Stars’), ‘Our Souls at Nigh’t is set in Colorado and begins when Addie Moore (Jane Fonda) pays an unexpected visit to a neighbor, Louis Waters (Robert Redford).
Her husband died years ago, as did his wife, and in such a small town they’d been neighbours for decades, but had little contact. Their children live far away and they are all alone in their big houses. She seeks to establish a connection, and make the most of the rest of the time they have.
Here’s the first trailer for ‘Our Souls at Night’, which will be released on the popular streaming site on 29 September.
