help Ladyhawke FAQ
What curse keeps Navarre and Isabeau apart in Ladyhawke?
The Bishop's curse turns Isabeau into a hawk by day and Navarre into a wolf by night. They are therefore human at opposite times and can see each other only fleetingly around dawn and dusk.
Who plays the thief, the knight, and Isabeau in Ladyhawke?
Matthew Broderick plays the thief Philippe Gaston, Rutger Hauer plays Captain Etienne Navarre, and Michelle Pfeiffer plays Isabeau d'Anjou. John Wood portrays the Bishop of Aquila who placed the curse on the lovers.
Where was Ladyhawke filmed?
Although the story is set in a stylized medieval Italy, the production used real Italian locations. The fortress of Rocca Calascio in Abruzzo provides some of the film's most recognizable mountain imagery.
Why does Ladyhawke have a modern-sounding soundtrack?
Andrew Powell composed the score, which combines orchestral writing with prominent synthesizers and rock-influenced rhythms. That 1980s sound is unusually modern beside the film's medieval setting and remains one of its most debated creative choices.
