New Review: 'The Bride'
Just in time for Valentine's Day, it's a repressed, twisted, post-Gothic genre take on the love story.
"The Bride" is one of those underrated submissions to the genre from the mid-1980s that begs for revisiting. Clunky in its essential marketing gimmick - casting Sting as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein - Franc Roddam's film still surpasses that one weakness.
"The Bride" is big, gorgeous and complex. It's as good, if not the best, interpretation of Shelley's source novel ever put on the screen. It also features tremendous performances by Clancy Brown and David Rappaport.
