Death Becomes Her (1992) is a dark comedy classic that blends Hollywood satire, supernatural fantasy, and over-the-top glamour.
Starring Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn as rival frenemies obsessed with eternal youth, the film is a deliciously twisted tale of vanity, immortality, and revenge.
Isabella Rossellini dazzles as the mysterious and enchanting Lisle Von Rhuman, the ageless sorceress who offers the secret to eternal life—for a price. With her regal poise, seductive voice, and commanding presence, Rossellini is hypnotic in every scene, draped in flowing gowns and adorned with jewels, exuding old-world elegance and danger.
She elevates the film’s gothic camp with a performance that’s both ethereal and slyly humorous. As the keeper of the elixir of youth, Rossellini leaves an unforgettable mark—equal parts mystical muse and cautionary figure in this timeless cult favorite.
