Slovak Cinemas Screen Feminist Retelling of Frankenstein with 'The Bride'

Slovak movie theaters are now showing 'The Bride,' a bold feminist reinterpretation of Mary Shelley's classic Frankenstein story directed by actress-filmmaker Maggie Gyllenhaal. The film, which follows Gyllenhaal's directorial debut 'The Lost Daughter,' gives voice to a character who has remained invisible for over 200 years in literary adaptations. The visually striking production is described as filled with female anger, defiance, and feminist messaging, offering audiences an alternative to traditional Frankenstein adaptations that focuses on the female perspective of the Gothic tale.
