Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley in “The Bride”

“This is a roller coaster ride of a movie,” says Christian Bale in a featurette for “The Bride.” “It’s monstrous, it’s human, it’s intimate but it’s epic, all at the same time.” In the film, directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, the Academy Award winner plays Frankenstein, a lonely monster who travels to 1930s Chicago to ask groundbreaking 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 is born.
