Notebook Reviews: DEATH BECOMES HER

Robert Zemeckis – 1992

Director Robert Zemeckis delivers a delicious black comedy with Death Becomes Her. The lead trifecta – Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn and Bruce Willis have a great old time. Streep and Hawn chew the scenery, but Willis really impresses as the geeky, put-upon husband. Isabella Rossellini also puts in a gloriously camp turn. 

Winning production design, wonderful cinematography and a strong Alan Silvestri score only add to Death Becomes Her‘s delights. 

It’s a little over-the-top at times, but some funny moments and the aforementioned elements make Death Becomes Her well with watching.
