Jessie Buckley plays a murdered woman named Ida who is brought back to life to keep Frankenstein’s monster company.
Jessie Buckley is most likely going to be a Best Actress Oscar winner later this month, if her clean sweep this awards season is any indication.
But just before she (probably) strikes gold with Hamnet, she is already back with her next feature, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride!
Inspired by 1935’s Bride of Frankenstein, in which the titular character only appears briefly at the end, Gyllenhaal’s Gothic romance crime film imagines what happens after the Bride is brought back from the dead.
Set in 1930s Chicago, Frankenstein’s monster (Christian Bale) goes to Dr. Cornelia Euphronius (Annette Bening) and asks her to make him a companion because he’s desperately lonely.
They dig up the body of a murdered woman named Ida and bring her back to life.
Together, Frankenstein, aka Frank, and the Bride unwittingly embark on a violent crime spree, followed by detective Jake Wiles (Peter Sarsgaard) and his assistant...
