Not Rated . \n\n\n\nKika is presented by Director Fits as part of a series on Fashio n and Film. Kika is a black comedy by Pedro Almodóvar that follows a youn g makeup artist sent to prepare a corpse when her attentions bring him bac k to life. Featuring a Jean Paul Gaultier wardrobe\, this stylish film hel ped cement the “Almodóvar look.” \n\n\n\n“Kika marked the first col laboration between the French designer and the Spanish filmmaker. Gaultier was responsible for the costumes of Abril’s character\, Andrea Caracort ada\, who played a sadistic television presenter with a love for gore” – Director Fits  \n\n\n\nDirector Fits is a media platform focusing on the everyday sartorial decisions of filmmakers. We believe that directors are an often overlooked group of impeccably well-dressed artists making bo ld choices when it comes to clothing. We focus on their personal style\, t he practical garments they wear while they work\, their buttoned-up red ca rpet looks\, and so much more. We dive deep into the thought process of a director’s view on clothing and how it affects them as well as their fil ms. \n\n\n\nWe do not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, and films exhibited don’t nec essarily reflect the views of PAM CUT or the Portland Art Museum. In addit ion to the synopses\, trailers\, and other links on our website\, further information about content and age-appropriateness for specific films can b e found on sites like Common Sense Media\, IMDb\, and DoesTheDogDie.com.

The fil m follows Frank Chambers\, a restless drifter who takes a job at a roadsid e diner and quickly becomes involved with Cora\, the beautiful and unhappy wife of the owner. Their attraction soon turns into a dangerous plot to m urder Cora’s husband\, setting off a chain of events involving suspicion \, betrayal\, guilt\, and the consequences of trying to get away with murd er.\n\n**Here’s how The Portland Movie Club meet-ups work:**\nJust like a book club\, we watch the movie on our own time before we meet.\nWe'll me et at Lucky Lab on SE Hawthorne at 4pm on the scheduled date.\nWe'll typic ally have a sign at our table(s)\, but at least we'll try to be obvious an d identifiable.\nGrab some food and drinks to support our generous hosts a nd spend some time socializing and discussing this movie with us.\n\n**A F ew Notes about the film:**\n*The Postman Always Rings Twice* was directed by Tay Garnett and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1946\, based on Jame s M. Cain’s 1934 novel. The film is one of the classic examples of Holly wood film noir\, built around Cain’s familiar themes of lust\, greed\, c rime\, and fatalism. Lana Turner’s performance as Cora Smith was a major departure from her glamorous star image\, while John Garfield brings a re stless\, cynical energy to Frank Chambers. The chemistry between the two d rives much of the film\, but what makes the story especially noir is the s ense that their choices have already set them on a doomed path. The film w as controversial for its time because of its sexual themes and its frank t reatment of murder\, but it was also a major commercial success. With its roadside diner setting\, morally compromised characters\, tense plotting\, and increasingly oppressive atmosphere\, it’s a particularly good examp le of how Hollywood transformed hard-boiled crime fiction into classic noi r.\n\n**Viewing Options for the film:**\nAs of the date of this posting\, the film is available to stream for free with ads on Tubi and Plex\, and t hrough HBO Max/Amazon Channel\, and YouTube TV. It is also available to re nt or buy through Amazon Video\, Apple TV\, Google Play\, YouTube\, and Fa ndango At Home.\nFor physical viewing\, Movie Madness has two copies avail able\, as well as MultCo. library having two copies. If anyone knows of an y additional streaming or viewing options\, please comment on the event.\n \n**About the Film Noir group:**\nThis meetup explores classic and neo-noi r films\, focusing on shadowy visuals\, morally gray characters\, doomed r omances\, and crime stories where nobody’s hands are clean. We’ll watc h a mix of essential noirs and modern films inspired by the genre\, paying attention to themes like fate\, corruption\, obsession\, and alienation. These films often deal with violence\, crime\, and heavy subject matter\, so content can be intense at times\; checking a site like [www.doesthedogd ie.com](http://www.doesthedogdie.com/) is encouraged if you prefer content warnings.\n\n**Tips:**\nOnce again\, we do not watch the movie at the mee t-up. All members watch the movie on their own time before we meet to disc uss it. You don't have to watch the movie to join us\, but it'll be more f un if you do.\nSome people like to take notes or find books and articles r elated to the film and its subject matter\; feel free to bring those thing s along if there's something you'd like to share with the group.\nAt the e nd of the discussion\, we'll pass around a ballot where we can vote on a s late of options for the next discussion.\n\n**Films previously discussed i n the Film Noir group:**\n*Gun Crazy\, Dial M for Murder\, Sudden Fear\, T he Maltese Falcon\, Kiss Me Deadly\,* *Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?\,* and *Stranger on the Third Floor.*\n\n**The Portland Movie Club is on Disc ord!**\nAre you on Discord?
