The genius doctor who dared to create life from the dead returns
to give his creation a mate, encouraged by another doctor
who is so far gone that he makes our hero seem quite sane
after all. Possibly the greatest of the
classic Universal Horrors of the 30's, BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN
is close to perfection, with intelligent screenwriting and
hugely imaginative visuals, not to mention much bizarre humor.
At the time of its release, many were outraged by the film's
sharp ribbings of virtually every sacred institution, from
religion to marriage, and it was banned or cut in a slew of
European countries. Others were shocked by the dark philosophical
questions it dared to raise. Today the film stands as a complete
celebration of both the medium and the genre, its joyous sense
of storytelling holding equal ground with atmospheric terrors
and all sorts of physical grotesqueries. It's also the rare
sequel that's miles better than its predecessor. (MD)

Un
docteur génial qui ose créer la vie avec la
chair de cadavres décide de créer un conjointe
à sa créature masculine. Véritable classique
des années 30 des studios Universal. Doté dun
scénario intelligent, dun visuel très
créatif et dun humour plutôt bizarre, le
film sattaque à toutes les institutions de lépoque.
Bride of Frankenstein a dailleurs choqué les
auditoires lors de sa sortie. Film clé du cinéma
dépouvante.
