Guillermo del Toro’s Guiding Principle

Video Description

On Guillermo del Toro’s birthday, revisit his episode of our Criterion original series ADVENTURES IN MOVIEGOING, recorded in 2017, in which the director tells Adam Savage how his deep connection to the material he films, and the audiences he reaches, has carried him through all his movies, five of which are currently in the Criterion Collection — with a sixth, NIGHTMARE ALLEY (2021), joining them later this month just in time for his new film FRANKENSTEIN. Watch the full conversation and learn about the cinematic inspirations that fuel his flights of phantasmagoria as he introduces a selection of favorite films — including VAMPYR (1932), BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (1946), EYES WITHOUT A FACE (1960), TIME BANDITS (1981), and more. criterionchannel.com/guillermo-del-toro-s-adventures-in-moviegoing ADVENTURES IN MOVIEGOING is an ongoing original series of The Criterion Channel streaming service, in which we invite artists to talk about the role that movies have played in their lives.
