“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 enthralled movie fans with its dark beauty and edge-of-the-seat set pieces.”
In his book, acclaimed author Ian Nathan charts the progression of Guillermo’s career through a complete and intimate study of the life and work of one of the most truly unique directors. Nathan, the former editor and executive editor of Empire, has previously published nine books and contributes regularly to The Times, The Independent, The Mail on Sunday, and the Discovery Film documentary series on Sky Arts. He is currently one of the UK’s best-known films writers.
Nathan begins by examining Guillermo’s childhood in Mexico, surrounded by ornate Catholicism and monster magazines. It follows him to film school, where we learn of his influences and explores his 1993 debut Cronos. It goes on to cover his development as a director, including his blockbuster success with the Hellboy films. We are even invited to take a look at his exciting upcoming projects, Nightmare Alley and Pinocchio within pages that analyze the processes, themes, and narratives that have come to be recognized as distinctly del Toro.
“Presented in a slipcase with 8-page gatefold section, with scores of illuminating photographs of the director at work on set as well as iconic stills from his films and examples of his influences, this stunning package will delight all Guillermo del Toro devotees and movie lovers in general.”
