Paolo Sorrentino’s bittersweet age drama, “Youth,” features a tour de force performance by Michael Caine as a retired conductor reflecting on the passing of time and memories of his wife, a former singer.
76-year-old, Harvey Keitel, turns in a solid performance as a once-great director whose best work is behind him, while 77-year-old, Jane Fonda, plays his one-time muse and steals her scenes in a performance as cantankerous older actress. She has exaggerated makeup and a near-drag-queen wig, which at one point, humiliatingly falls off in a hysterical diva scene on a plane.
