DEATH BECOMES HER
When a novelist loses her man to a movie star and former friend, she winds up in a psychiatric hospital. Years later, she returns home to confront the now-married couple, looking radiant. Her ex-husband's new wife wants to know her secret, and discovers that she has been taking a mysterious drug which grants eternal life to the person who drinks it.

ABOUT THE FILM
30 years after disappearing out in theaters, this delightfully macabre comedy is a gay cult classic!
The film savagely satirizes themes relevant to the gay male community in particular (e.g., obsession with youth and beauty) and does so with over-the-top glamour, a remarkably campy aesthetic, and blistering insults. And it is all delivered by two of the most beloved big screen actresses of all time.
Death Becomes Her is a film without heart and, at times, a film without much logic. But it is a wildly entertaining and often hilarious spectacle in which a host of truly talented individuals dared to lean 100% into a dark and bizarre premise.
