Gothic (1987)

Ken Russell's "Gothic" plunges into the fevered, hallucinatory night that supposedly inspired Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," mixing horror and period drama into a fever-dream of sex, madness, and creative obsession among Lord Byron's circle. Natasha Richardson stars as Mary Shelley herself, delivering a performance that leans into the film's unhinged, gothic sensuality. There's a single nude scene clip on site from the film, capturing Richardson baring skin amid the movie's chaotic, candlelit atmosphere. For fans of the actress or the era's excess-drenched arthouse horror, it's a brief but worthwhile glimpse.
