Frankenstein

Finally delivering his long-dreamed project to adapt Mary Shelley’s novel, del Toro demonstrates his vision with an extraordinary ensemble of collaborators – both in front of and behind the camera. In an isolated tower, Victor Frankenstein works furiously on an experiment to reanimate the recently dead. In doing so, he sets off a deadly sequence of events. Like the novel, del Toro’s film shifts perspectives from creator to creature, all the while grappling with philosophical issues such as the complexities of human relationships and the very meaning of life.

This introduction includes live captioning and the screening will be presented with Descriptive Subtitles and Audio Description will be available.
