Join us at The Frida Cinema as we present a one night only screening of the 2018 Nicole Kidman neo-noir crime thriller Destroyer, followed by an in-person discussion with the director of the film, Karyn Kusama (Jennifer’s Body, The Invitation, Girlfight) and author Marya E Gates!

The film follows Erin Bell (played by Kidman), a deeply troubled LAPD detective who, years after an undercover operation went horribly wrong, is haunted by its consequences. As she confronts both her past and the destructive choices she’s made, Erin’s journey takes a toll on her physical and emotional state, revealing the complexities of guilt, trauma, and justice.

Before and after the screening, Marya E. Gates will be selling and signing copies of her book Cinema Her Way: Visionary Female Directors In Their Own Words. Celebrating women directors and their incredible contributions to filmmaking, this fascinating survey includes a brief history about groundbreaking trailblazers, in-depth interviews with singular female directors (including Karyn Kusama, of course), and a comprehensive list of noteworthy talents and their films.
