Cinema Supper Club at the Legion of Honor: The Real Drama Queens
Thursday, January 10, 2008
First dinner seating at 6 pm
Feature film: Marie Antoinette (2006) begins at 8 pm

Cinema Supper Club returns to the Legion of Honor on January 10 with a film series entitled, “The Real Drama Queens.” The Thursday evening programs, which continue through February 14, feature fine dining, fine art, and film. The film series in the Florence Gould Theater presents a dynamic line-up of films about the dramatic lives of historic queens and personalities. The feature film on January 10 will be Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette (2006; 123 min.) which captures the opulent nature of Marie-Antoinette (Kirsten Dunst) at the eccentric royal court of Versailles. The special exhibition Marie-Antoinette and the Petit Trianon at Versailles stays open until 9 pm so that visitors can discover the personal style of the legendary French queen through the furniture, sculpture, and art that adorned her private retreat. The Legion Café becomes a Supper Club serving French-inspired cuisine in honor of the exhibition. A sampling of tapas and wine are also available in the Café.

Tickets are $20 ($10 Members) for the movie and special exhibition. For the special exhibition only, admission is $15 (Members are free). Tickets are on a first-come, first-served basis. The first dinner seating is at 6 pm, and dinner pricing is separate. The special exhibition and museum store are open until 9 pm.
