Paris – The Luminous Years (2010)
10:00 p.m., Horchow Auditorium
Marc Chagall’s Paris was a storm of modernism, uprooting centuries of tradition in the visual arts, music, literature, dance, theater, and beyond. Spotlighting the now-famous key figures in the art world’s first international avant-garde movement, and tracing who came to Paris and how being in Paris transformed their work, this film features these moments of drama and history as recalled by those at the heart of it all, including Marc Chagall, Igor Stravinsky, Jean Cocteau, and more. This film is not rated. (120 min.)
