The Frida Cinema is excited to partner with the Production Designers Collective a very special screening of Spike Jonze’s 2002 masterwork Adaptation! And make sure to stick around after the screening for a very special Q&A with the film’s Production Designer–K.K. Barrett (Her, Marie Antoinette).
Charlie Kaufman is a confused L.A. screenwriter overwhelmed by feelings of inadequacy, sexual frustration, self-loathing, and by the screenwriting ambitions of his freeloading twin brother Donald. While struggling to adapt “The Orchid Thief,” by Susan Orlean, Kaufman’s life spins from pathetic to bizarre. The lives of Kaufman, Orlean’s book, become strangely intertwined as each one’s search for passion collides with the others’.
A modern classic of postmodern cinema, Adaptation fuses Jonze’s inventive direction with Kaufman’s whip-smart script and self-referential chaos.
This event will be an official part of International Production Design Week.
