Frankenstein

Frankenstein was a lifelong dream project for Guillermo del Toro. While this film was an adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic tale of Victor Frankenstein, the director’s approach to the film was not to emphasise the terror or the creation of a monster, but in fact, to reflect on what it means to be a human. Under the watchful eye of Guillermo del Toro, the director infused his gothic vision with a sense of modernism by bringing to life the story of a brilliant but egotistical scientist and his tragic creation.
