Corpse Bride
2005 · TMDB 7.6
Directed by Mike Johnson, Tim Burton
In a 19th-century European village, a young man about to be married is whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious corpse bride, while his real bride waits bereft in the land of the living.
Why it matters
Tim Burton's gothic romance about a man who accidentally marries a dead bride while rehearsing his wedding vows. Set in a Victorian village and the Land of the Dead, the film is a darkly comic meditation on love, death, and the afterlife.
