THE PRINCESS BRIDE (PG) Presented on 35mm

The Princess Bride at Revival House Perth

Prepare for Rob Reiner's perfect 1987 fairy tale adventure that proves true love, fencing, and inconceivable plot twists never go out of style. When beautiful Buttercup is kidnapped by a mysterious trio on the eve of her unwanted marriage to Prince Humperdinck, a masked pirate calling himself the Dread Pirate Roberts must rescue her - but he may be more than he appears.

Cary Elwes brings swashbuckling charm to Westley, the farm boy turned pirate whose love for Buttercup transcends death itself, while Robin Wright shines as the woman worth fighting impossible odds to save. Mandy Patinkin creates an unforgettable character in Inigo Montoya, the Spanish swordsman seeking revenge for his father's murder with six-fingered determination.

Reiner's masterful direction balances action, romance, and comedy with perfect pitch, creating a film that works equally well for children discovering it for the first time and adults rediscovering its genius. Wallace Shawn and Andre the Giant provide comic gold as the intellectual Vizzini and gentle giant Fezzik, while Christopher Guest chills as the six-fingered Count Rugen.

Based on William Goldman's beloved novel, the film's framing device of a grandfather reading to his sick grandson adds warmth and wit, with Peter Falk and Fred Savage creating the perfect wraparound story. Every line has become quotable, every character iconic.
