Summary:"Guillermo del Toro's spellbinding take on one of the most enduring of all modern myths, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, imbues the classic tale with new depths of humanity while pushing it toward dazzling heights of grandeur. Shifting between the perspectives of the brilliant but callous Victor Frankenstein and the creature he fashions from flesh and then cruelly mistreats; the story is reframed into one of fathers and sons struggling to break free from cycles of trauma. A decades-in-the-making triumph of darkly ravishing visual invention and operatic storytelling, and the winner of multiple Oscars, Frankenstein is a deepy personal statement from a director who has long been drawn to the realm where men and monsters merge." --
