Frankenstein

Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro’s visually sumptuous adaptation of Mary Shelley’s gothic masterpiece finds Oscar Isaac as the brilliant scientist whose unearthly creation, eerily and ingeniously conjured by Jacob Elordi, blurs the boundaries between life, death, and madness.

Oscar Isaac plays Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant scientist tortured by ambition and his own raging passions. Pushing his work beyond scientific certainty to the boundary between life and death, he brings a new being into existence in a spectacular moment of creation. Played in completely original fashion by Jacob Elordi, Frankenstein's monster begins as a powerful, dangerous beast but carries the equally dangerous capacity to learn from human behaviour. It puts both Frankenstein and his fiancé Elizabeth (Mia Goth.)

Frankenstein is del Toro's magnum opus, the story of a brilliant creator driven to the brink of madness, and a creation who meets him there.

Starts October 23 at Luna Leederville, Luna on SX, and the Windsor.
