THE BERLIN BRIDE, 2019

Director Michael Bartlett

Germany, US, 73 min

A near-silent tale inspired by the silent film era, the writings of Poe, and the German fantasist E.T.A Hoffmann. Two oddball Berliners discover individually the parts of a department store mannequin in a city park occupied by nude sunbathers. Under the mannequin's spell, and with a harrowing consequence, the men come to terms with their disjointed mate. A cautionary tale of unrequited sexuality and blurring gender identity. A surreal vision of sexual evolution and misguided passion.
