Love Library Hosts 'Lewis and Clark and Indian Country' Exhibit
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Love Library is one of 23 libraries and four tribal locations across the United States to host the national traveling exhibit "Lewis and Clark and the Indian Country." The exhibit will be on display in Love Library, 13th and R streets, through Dec. 4, and a number of free programs will be offered.
"Lewis and Clark and the Indian Country" is an exhibition that examines the Lewis and Clark story from the perspective of the Native Americans the explorers encountered on the trail. The exhibit offers a compelling look at what happened when two nations and two ways of life came together in the early 19th century, and how that encounter resounded throughout Indian country and across the United States for the next 200 years. more...

A Girl Cut In Two and Rachel Getting Married Play at the Ross
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center presents A Girl Cut In Two and Rachel Getting Married. Rachel Getting Married will play through November 26, while A Girl Cut In Two will have showings through December 4.
The French master of suspense Claude Chabrol returns with the razor-sharp, darkly seductive film A Girl Cut In Two. Gabrielle Deneige (Ludivine Sagnier of Swimming Pool) is an independent, ambitious TV weather girl torn between her love of a distinguished author several decades her senior (Francois Berleand), and the attentions of a headstrong, potentially unstable young suitor (Benoit Magimel). An unspoken past between the two men heightens tensions, and though she's initially certain of her love for one them, the see-saw demands and whims of both men keep confusing - and darkening - matters. Before long she's encountering emotional and societal forces well beyond her control, inexorably leading to a shocking clash of violence and passion.
Rachel Getting Married is a contemporary drama with an aggressive sense of humor about the return of an estranged daughter to the family home for her sister's wedding. Kym's (Anne Hathaway) reemergence throws a wrench into the family dynamics, forcing long-simmering tensions to surface in ways both hilarious and heartbreaking. Rachel Getting Married paints a colorful, nuanced family portrait and is filled with the rich characters that have always been a hallmark of Jonathan Demme's films. - Moviefone
