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 Mary Shelley’s masterpiece novel movingly captures the sense of isolation and yearning, while creating a fugue of dread and elemental horror. Mia Goth is outstanding as Elizabeth and Jacob Elordi delivers a heart-stealing performance as the monster.
Presented as part of the 69th BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express.
