Legendary Director Guillermo del Toro joins BBC Radio 1’s film critic Ali Plumb to talk about his new movie Frankenstein and look back through his career. He reveals how Frankenstein’s monster has been a theme throughout his work over the years, from Cronos, Blade II and Hellboy to Pacific Rim, The Shape Of Water and Pinnochio. And he reveals why he wanted the Faun to be more like David Bowie in Pan’s Labyrinth. Plus, he reveals the movies he most often recommends to others and the technique he stole from Steven Spielberg.
