Film Streams and the Joslyn Art Museum will hold a special screening of Marie Antoinette at 7 p.m. Aug. 15 at the Ruth Sokolof Theater, 1340 Mike Fahey St. <\/p>\n
The screening of the Sofia Coppola film coincides with Joslyns exhibition Bijoux Parisiens: French Jewelry from the Petit Palais, Paris. <\/p>\n
In the film, Kirsten Dunst plays Frances ill-fated queen, who overcomes her isolation in the royal court through the pleasures of her extravagant lifestyle, her hedonism to the soundtrack of several garage rock and New Wave classics. <\/p>\n
Dana E. Cowen, Joslyns associate curator of European art, will kick off the evening with an introduction to the exhibition. Film Streams director of education, Diana Martinez, also will offer a critique of Coppolas portrayal of excess in Marie Antoinette. <\/p>\n
Following the film, there will be a short presentation about the historic Marie Antoinette. The talk will be moderated by Juliette Parnell, a professor of French at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. She will highlight the affair of the diamond necklace, a scandal that rocked Versailles and France in 1785. <\/p>\n
