Library Giving Day is April 1! Your support ensures that all Kansas Citians have access to books, eBooks, audiobooks, and library services.
The Library continues this year’s Searching the Psyche Through Cinema series – featuring films adapted from books – with the 2017 drama Disobedience (R, 114 min.). Taken from Naomi Alderman’s novel of the same name, it’s the story of a woman (Rachel Weisz) who returns to the Orthodox Jewish community in London that she fled as a child. An awkward homecoming gets more complicated when she discovers that the former classmate (Rachel McAdams) with whom she had a teenage romance has married a mutual childhood friend and her rabbi-father’s protégé (Alessandro Nivola).
Post-screening discussion is led by psychoanalytic candidate Reed Maxwell; film critic Lonita Cook; and the Library’s director of readers’ services, Kaite Stover.
This event is co-sponsored by: Greater Kansas City and Topeka Psychoanalytic Center
