Few contemporary filmmakers are as adept at balancing attention to detail and technical prowess with genuine emotional heft as Academy Award-winning filmmaker Del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, The Shape of Water). His take on Shelley’s masterpiece movingly captures the sense of isolation and yearning, while creating a fugue of dread and elemental horror. Goth is outstanding as Elizabeth and Elordi delivers a heart-stealing performance as the monster.
Frankenstein will played with subtitles for accessibility as part of Subtitled Mondays.
