Watch the full movie on digital now.
From Maggie Gyllenhaal (Academy Award–nominated writer and director of The Lost Daughter), and starring Academy Award nominee Jessie Buckley and Academy Award winner Christian Bale, comes THE BRIDE! A bold, iconoclastic take on one of the world’s most compelling stories.
A lonely Frankenstein (Bale) travels to 1930s Chicago to ask groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious (five-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening) to create a companion for him. The two revive a murdered young woman, and The Bride (Buckley) is born.
What ensues is beyond what either of them imagined: Murder! Possession! A wild and radical cultural movement! And outlaw lovers in a wild and combustible romance!
The film stars Jessie Buckley, Christian Bale, and Peter Sarsgaard, with Annette Bening, Academy Award nominee Jake Gyllenhaal, and Oscar winner Penélope Cruz.
