Our popular Film Discussion Series with Dr. Tara Hayes continues this fall with an examination of “Marriage in the Movies.” Audiences are all too familiar with studios’ penchants for the happy “Hollywood Ending,” with movies often ending with a wedding while glossing over the machinations of marriage. We begin our discussions with the classical marriage economy of Sense and Sensibility and then turn to the personal and societal challenges, temptation and time marriages face in Blue Valentine, Loving, In the Mood for Love and 45 Years.

Films WILL NOT be shown during the discussion.
