To celebrate the release of The Shape of Water, we enter the fantastical world of the inimitable Mexican maestro.
Guillermo del Toro has been bewitching film audiences for over 20 years, crafting immaculate, immersive adult fantasies like Cronos, Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth and Crimson Peak.
Now the Mexican maestro is back with a new film, The Shape of Water, and to celebrate its US release we’ve commissioned video essayist Luís Azevedo (aka Beyond the Frame) to cast his discerning eye over the director’s back catalogue.
