In 1930s Chicago, groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious brings a murdered young woman back to life to be a companion for Frankenstein's monster. What happens next is beyond what either of them could ever have imagined.
1930s: Dr. Frankenstein and his lonely Creature (Christian Bale) travel to Chicago to seek the aid of a Dr. Euphronius (Annette Bening) in creating a companion for the Creature. The two doctors reinvigorate a murdered young woman and the Bride (Jessie Buckley) is born. She is beyond what either of them intended, igniting a combustible romance, the attention of the police and a wild and radical social movement. This is Maggie Gyllenhaal’s second films as director – after 2021’s ‘The Lost Daughter’ – and what we are seeing here is a brave and very skilful filmmaker coming to the fore.
