Synopsis
Frances McDormand stars as Jane, a legendary Los Angeles record producer and denizen of Laurel Canyon, longtime hillside haven for rock stars. Jane’s in the middle of producing an album in her home studio for a British band whose lead singer (Allesandro Nivola) is her much younger lover¾when her conservative, serious son Sam (Christian Bale) and his fiancée, Alex (Kate Beckinsale), arrive. Both recently graduated from Harvard Medical School, they are in L.A. to complete their studies, and need a place to stay. But soon things begin to unravel, as Alex’s attraction to Jane’s and Ian’s freewheeling lifestyle and Sam’s hesitancy about renewing a relationship with his wayward mother as well as his growing attraction to fellow medical resident Sara (Natascha McElhone) slowly fill the house with tension and doubt.
