Death Becomes Her at Revival House Perth
Prepare for Robert Zemeckis's wickedly funny 1992 dark comedy that proves vanity truly can be a killer. When aging actress Madeline Ashton and frumpy housewife Helen Sharp both discover a mysterious potion that promises eternal youth and beauty, their lifelong rivalry takes a decidedly supernatural turn with hilariously deadly consequences.
Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn deliver career-best comedic performances as the feuding frenemies, chewing scenery with gleeful abandon while maintaining perfect comic timing. Bruce Willis provides the perfect foil as Ernest, the hapless plastic surgeon caught between these two immortal forces of nature who refuse to let a little thing like death get in the way of their feud.
Zemeckis's masterful direction combines cutting-edge visual effects with classic screwball comedy, creating unforgettable sequences where broken necks, shotgun blasts, and deadly falls become sources of dark humor rather than horror. The groundbreaking special effects, which won the Academy Award, seamlessly blend the macabre with the magnificent.
Isabella Rossellini brings mysterious allure to Lisle Von Rhuman, the ageless beauty who offers eternal life at a price that's higher than anyone expects. The film's razor-sharp script explores our culture's obsession with youth and beauty while delivering laughs that are literally to die for.
Winner of Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.
