Loaded with rich imagery and a chapter dedicated to each of his films - including Oscar winners Pan' s Labyrinth and The Shape of Water alongside blockbuster hits such as Hellboy and Pacific Rim - discover how the strands of del Toro' s career have woven together to create one of modern cinema' s most cherished filmmakers. Widely regarded as one of the most imaginative directors working in cinema today, Guillermo del Toro has built up a body of work that has blown movie fans away with its dark beauty and edge-of-the-seat set pieces. Here, acclaimed film journalist Ian Nathan charts the progression of a career that has produced some of contemporary cinema' s most revered scenes and idiosyncratic characters. It' s an enlightening look into the mind of an auteur blessed with a singular creative vision, which analyses the processes, themes, and narratives that have come to be recognised as distinctly del Toro.
