About this Event
A project Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, The Shape of Water, Pinocchio) has long dreamed of realizing—even before he learned how to direct—Frankenstein is a deeply personal adaptation of Mary Shelley’s timeless novel, bearing the unmistakable touch of a filmmaker known for his signature blend of gothic horror and dark fantasy. Ambitious, arrogant scientist Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac) “plays God” by creating the Creature (Jacob Elordi), whose rejection by humankind ignites a tragic chain of events. Del Toro conjures a visually baroque, sensory-rich odyssey in which the Creature’s monstrous exterior conceals a soul aching for connection. Beneath layers of prosthetics and makeup, Elordi delivers a remarkable performance of anguish and vulnerability in this hauntingly beautiful reimagining of a classic tale.
2025. USA. Written and directed by Guillermo del Toro. With Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth. DCP courtesy Netflix. 149 min. 139 min.
