The monthly Brookline event, which is now going nationwide, resumes on Monday:

The Coolidge Corner Theatre’s Science on Screen series presents…Death in Venice, in which an aging composer (played by Dirk Bogarde) obsessed by his ideal of physical and spiritual beauty jeopardizes his own life to be near the object of his desire. Before the film, Harvard psychologist Nancy Etcoff, author of the critically acclaimed popular science book Survival of the Prettiest, discusses the science of beauty. Dr. Etcoff has conducted research on the perception of beauty, emotion, well-being, and the brain for over 20 years and has published papers in Nature, Cognition, and Neuron, among other professional journals.
