At the Chazen: Austen, Kawabata, Oates, and Didion On Film Presented in conjunction with the Chazen Museum of Art’s exhibition, Petah Coyne: How Much A Heart Can Hold, this series presents four feature films that are all adaptations of stories or novels by writers who influenced Coyne’s body of work: Jane Austen, Yusanari Kawabata, Joyce Carol Oates, and Joan Didion. Each of these authors inspired original Coyne works in the exhibition, which can be viewed at the Chazen September 9 through December 23.

Based on a story by co-screenwriter Yusanari Kawabata, this silent film milestone has been hailed as the Japanese equivalent of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. The story focuses on a husband struggling to connect with his insane wife amidst the harrowing asylum where she lives and he works as a janitor. Disturbing and daring, the film was considered lost for over 40 years until director Kinugasa discovered a single 35mm print hidden in his home. The digital version that will be shown features a score by the Alloy Orchestra.
