Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein premiered yesterday at the Venice Film Festival (coincidentally, also Mary Shelley’s birthday! Or maybe it wasn’t a coincidence?) The red carpet stuff has been so fun to watch. I’m so happy for everyone involved. This has been three years of work, in many cases, and for Guillermo it’s been a lifelong dream.
I have a couple friends in Venice and am so glad my friend Glenn Kenny reviewed the film for Ebert. He’s one of my favorite writers (that’s his quote in the headline), and thinkers.
