Soon after completing "Tout Va Bien," actor Jane Fonda returns to her political activism. The appearance of the "Hanoi Jane" photograph in a French magazine inspires filmmakers Jean-Pierre Gorin and Jean-Luc Godard to create an investigative film.
Letter to Jane is, in one sense, a very long lecture (or harangue) by two filmmakers that is almost the purest example of agitprop in cinematic history as well as possibly the most graceless. But it still makes fascinating viewing and sums up a period in the political life of cinema that can be linked to the more formalist stylistic strictures of Lars Von Trier’s Dogma Group.
