MOVIE NIGHT AT YOUR HOME PUBLIC LIBRARY

Big Eyes (Nov 21) – This 2014 Tim Burton film is based on the life of American artist Margaret Keane. Keane (Amy Adams) made paintings of people with exceptionally large eyes that became a hit in the 1950s and 60s. She left her first husband, going on to raise her young daughter on her own. The movie shows the rise of her artwork as her second husband, Walter Keane (Christopher Waltz), markets her paintings as his own, reasoning that art made by a woman wouldn’t sell. The film follows the lawsuit between the two once Margaret comes out as the real artist behind the paintings. (PG-13)
