    The Coolidge Corner Theatre’s Science on Screen series presents director Luchino Visconti's exquisite 1971 film DEATH IN VENICE, in which an artist obsessed by his ideal of physical and spiritual beauty jeopardizes his own life to be near the object of his desire. Before the film, guest speaker Nancy Etcoff discusses the science of beauty. Dr. Etcoff is a faculty member of the Harvard Medical School and the Harvard University Mind/Brain/Behavior Initiative and a psychologist at Massachusetts General Hospital. Her critically acclaimed popular science book, Survival of the Prettiest: The Science of Beauty has been published in over a dozen languages.
