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.

CLUELESS
USA | 1995 | 35mm | 97 min.
Director: Amy Heckerling
Cast: Alicia Silverstone, Brittany Murphy, Paul Rudd
In mid-90s Beverly Hills, rich and popular Cher (Silverstone) rules her high school. When she gives klutzy new student Tai (Brittany Murphy) a makeover, Tai becomes more popular. Funny, stylish, and driven by its own memorable vernacular, this box-office hit was Heckerling’s second successful tour of California teendom after Fast Times at Ridgemont High. “Still the best Jane Austen adaptation” (Jane Hu, The Ringer), Clueless is loosely based on Austen’s 1815 novel, Emma.
