Synopsis
The Bride (La novia, 2015) is a Spanish drama from director Paula Ortiz that you can watch online on iFILM — a free adaptation of Federico García Lorca's play Blood Wedding.
On the eve of her wedding, the Bride (Inma Cuesta) prepares to marry a steady, decent Groom. But Leonardo (Álex García), the man she has wanted since childhood, lives nearby and is now married to someone else. The old pull proves stronger than vows and propriety, and the celebration turns toward catastrophe. Ortiz relocates the Andalusian tragedy to a scorched desert of stone houses, wind and blood on a white dress.
The film lives on its images — Miguel Ángel Amoedo shot it like a fever dream and took the Goya for cinematography, while Luisa Gavasa won hers as the groom's mother. For anyone who values slow, poetic cinema with a folkloric edge. Stream The Bride (2015) online on iFILM.
