Maggie Gyllenhaal, the Academy Award-nominated director of *The Lost Daughter*, brings you *The Bride*, a fresh and daring reimagining of a classic story. Christian Bale stars as a solitary Frankenstein who journeys to 1930s Chicago, seeking the help of brilliant scientist Dr. Euphronious (Annette Bening, a five-time Oscar nominee) to create a partner for him. They succeed in bringing a young woman back to life, and The Bride (Jessie Buckley, also an Academy Award nominee) is born. But the results are far more shocking than they expected, leading to murder, obsession, a surprising new cultural movement, and a passionate, forbidden love affair.
