La fotografia post mortem, l'inquietante pratica in uso durante l'epoca vittoriana, è il tema affrontato in The Bride (aka Невеста and Nevesta), l'horror russo scritto e diretto da Svyatoslav Podgayevskiy (Vladenie 18 and Pikovaya dama. Chyornyy obryad). An interesting trailer and a spectacular poster are already available of the film, which you can view below right.
Currently distributed in Russia and awaiting worldwide release, The Bride will see the light of day in British theaters starting May 4.
The protagonist of this funereal story is Nastya, a girl who arrives at her fiancé's family home to plan the wedding together with relatives. For her, however, the stay there will not be as idyllic as hoped. Surrounded by strange people and frightened by eerie presences, Nastya will have to face a mysterious as well as dangerous Slavic wedding ceremony.
The film is reminiscent of the recent Demon, in cui Piotr, un futuro sposo, raggiunge la fidanzata Zaneta in Polonia per il matrimonio. Nel film l'uomo inglese si ritroverà a dover far fronte alle particolari tradizioni dei matrimoni polacchi ma non soltanto.
In the cast of The Bride: Vyacheslav Chepurchenko, Aleksandra Rebenok, Igor Khripunov, Valeriya Dmitrieva, Vladimir Seleznyov, Miroslava Karpovich, Vera Biryukova, and Matt Fowler.
