Kanopy Recommendation
Jeanne du Barry
2023: 1 hr, 56 min
Uses 2 tickets: 72 hours access
A film about the romance that scandalized 18th century France, and played a decisive role in The French Revolution.
The most unexpected thing about this French historical drama is the choice of the actor to portray Louis XV: Johnny Depp. He is the only American actor in the movie playing the aging monarch who has more ardor than political acumen. This portrayal of Madam Du Barry is more accurate than earlier (Hollywood) versions, making her a bit more human version than the ‘coarse tramp’ trope used in some adaptations; and, who better to have an understanding of French history than the French themselves? The setting of Versailles and the costuming are stunning.
Kanopy is free with your library card, providing 21 tickets each month to watch streaming movies, documentaries, and TV shows.
Libby Recommendation
YA Thriller E-Audiobook
No Place Left To Hide
by Megan Lally
Some secrets just won't stay hidden in this twisty thriller!
To Brooke, image is everything. She works hard to maintain perfect grades, perfect looks, a perfect life, especially after "the incident" that threatened it all. Getting into her dream university puts her that much closer to a fresh start. How can she say no to celebrating with all her classmates?
Hanging out with her crush by the bonfire is the perfect end to the night. Except it isn't the end. An old truck aggressively tails Brooke and her best friend on the isolated road toward home. Someone thinks they know the truth about "the incident" and won't stop until it's all out in the open. This terrifying drive is about to bring out Brooke's worst fears, if she survives it.
Read No Place Left To Hide as an eaudiobook with no wait time. Discover all the great books in Overdrive and Libby.
