Join us for an afternoon screening of Ernst Lubitsch’s Trouble in Paradise (1932). It’s love at first swindle when high-society thief Gaston Monescu (Herbert Marshall) and pickpocket Lily Vautier (Miriam Hopkins) cross paths amid the canals of Venice while attempting to con each other—and then it’s off to Paris, where the pair meet their match in their latest mark, the très chic Madame Colet (Kay Francis), whose fabulous fortune is exceeded only by her powers of seduction. Sparkling with champagne charm, Art Deco opulence, and a dizzying play of disguises and concealed identities, the film moves through the same aesthetic world that GaHee Park makes her own.
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!
