Join us for an afternoon screening of Elaine May’s A New Leaf (1971). A spoiled and self-absorbed man who has squandered his inheritance, Henry Graham (Walter Matthau) is desperate to maintain his lavish lifestyle. When he meets Henrietta Lowell (Elaine May), an awkward and bookish heiress, he sees his opportunity—and hatches a surprisingly sinister scheme. Set against mid-century modernist interiors and pop art decor, the film shares with GaHee Park’s work a preoccupation with social performance and hidden depths—and with the way a seemingly pliant female figure gradually reveals herself as the one who controls the gaze, and the game.
Enjoy the film and themed snacks as part of this series inspired by GaHee Park’s exhibition Behind the Curtain. Come early or stay late to visit our galleries—free admission is included with your ticket!
