Synopsis
In this honest exploration of relationships Frances McDormand stars as the mesmerising Jane, a veteran record producer, trying to come up with a hit single for a British band whose lead singer Ian (Alessandro Nivola) is her much younger lover.

Christian Bale stars as Jane's son Sam and Kate Beckinsale as his fiance Alex, both recent graduates of Harvard medical school. Conservative and serious, the couple move to Los Angeles to complete their studies, planning to stay in Jane's home, which she had promised would be vacant.

But when they arrive, Sam is distressed to discover Jane and the band still working in Jane's home recording studio and Alex finds herself seduced by Jane and Ian's lifestyle, leaving Sam adrift and vulnerable to the approach of fellow medical resident Sara (Natascha McElhone).

TRIVIA:
Joni Mitchell, who was Lisa Cholodenko's inspiration for the Jane character, is among the musicians in Jane's photo gallery as well as the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
