Film still from Death Becomes Her, directed by Robert Zemeckis (USA, 1992).

One of the most iconic films of the nineties, with memorable performances by Goldie Hawn, Meryl Streep and Isabella Rossellini. They are at the center of a hilarious and visually frenetic black comedy about the perverse fantasy of eternal youth.

A perfect mix of fantasy and dark comedy. Shot in style by Robert Zemeckis, who had just completed the Back to the Future trilogy (1985-1990), and featuring the most popular actors of the time, Death Becomes You is a funny, biting Hollywood satire. 

It is about the rivalry between two women, a writer (Goldie Hawn) and the actress (Meryl Streep) she accuses of having stolen her fiancé, a prestigious plastic surgeon, a few years previously (Bruce Willis). The confrontation between the two grows further with the appearance of a woman, played by an absolutely iconic Isabella Rossellini, bearing in her hands the elixir of eternal youth. The two women become obsessed with this liquid and its properties… despite its contraindications. 

Masterfully directed and with some memorable performances, Death Becomes You is a scathing, hilarious and electrifying satire of the fear of ageing, cosmetic procedures and the perverse fantasy of eternal youth.

The film will be screened in original version and subtitled in Catalan.

A film in the 2026 edition of Gandules Cinema in the Open Air.
