Frankenstein at the LFF Review
The moody vibes are turned up to 100 in this more-or-less faithful adaptation of the book.
It’s been 200 years since Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, and yet its themes – man’s arrogance, cruelty and inhumanity to man – still feel chillingly relevant.
A story about humans overreaching and giving monstrous new life to a misunderstood, yet deadly, creature, has lessons to teach us, especially with the upcoming AI revolution.
Factor in some killer costume design and excellent performances from an all-star cast, this take on the story is the work of Guillermo del Toro, and he wastes no time putting his own spin on things.
A story about humans overreaching and giving monstrous new life to a misunderstood, yet deadly, creature? Well, hello upcoming AI revolution.
