From Maggie Gyllenhaal (Oscar-nominated writer/director of The Lost Daughter) and starring Oscar nominee Jessie Buckley (Hamnet) and Oscar winner Christian Bale (American Psycho) comes The Bride! A bold, iconoclastic take on one of the world’s most compelling stories.
A lonely “Frank” (Bale) travels to 1930s Chicago to ask ground-breaking 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 radical cultural movement! And outlaw lovers in a wild and combustible romance!
The film stars Buckley, Bale, Peter Sarsgaard, with Bening, Oscar nominee Jake Gyllenhaal, and Oscar winner Penélope Cruz.
