Ladyhawke

Ladyhawke (1985) is Richard Donner's fantasy adventure you can watch online on iFILM. A young pickpocket named Philippe, called the Mouse, slips out of the dungeons of Aquila — something no prisoner has ever managed. On the road he falls in with a grim rider who keeps a hawk on his arm.

The rider is Etienne Navarre, once captain of the city guard. The Bishop of Aquila cursed him and his beloved Isabeau for daring to love: by day she lives as the hawk, and by night, when she turns human again, Navarre becomes a black wolf. They are always near each other and never together, kept apart by the thin seconds of dawn and dusk. Matthew Broderick plays the wisecracking thief, Rutger Hauer is Navarre, Michelle Pfeiffer is Isabeau, and Alfred Molina is the tracker on their trail.

Donner shot this romance between Superman and Lethal Weapon, using real castles across Italy, with a score by Andrew Powell and members of The Alan Parsons Project. It is the rare fairy tale where a happy ending hangs on a single eclipse. Stream Ladyhawke (1985) online on iFILM.
