ART SEMINAR GROUP & RENAISSANCE INSTITUTE IN-PERSON PROGRAM (WITH AN OPTION TO JOIN ONLINE)

FILM SERIES: THE FABULOUS JANE FONDA

9 to 5 (Colin Higgins, 1980, 109 min.)

Film introduction and post-film discussion with Christopher Llewellyn Reed, chair, film & moving image department, Stevenson University

Directed by Colin Higgins (Silver Streak, 1976) and co-written by Higgins and Patricia Resnick, this landmark portrayal of women in the workplace is based on an idea by Fonda herself. The story of three female office workers battling a sexist manager would inspire a national conversation about misogyny and later spawn an eponymous sitcom. The #2 film at the 1980 US box office, the movie showed that stories centered on women could score big. Starring Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton in her first feature role (Parton also contributed the catchy, Oscar-nominated theme song), 9 to 5 is a comic romp with bite, never letting us forget that no matter how hard we laugh, the underlying issues are serious. Dabney Coleman is the perfect foil as the world's worst boss.

The summer film series is created in partnership with The Renaissance Institute and is held at Ridley Auditorium at Loyola Notre Dame Library: 200 Winston Avenue Baltimore, MD, 21212

$10 fee for guests or $40 for six films (No fee for ASG/RI members, or ASG subscribers)
