Frankenstein di Mary Shelley
Nel 1794, Victor Frankenstein (Kenneth Branagh) viene recuperato sulla banchisa polare dal capitano Walton (Aidan Quinn) che lo fa portare a bordo della sua nave e ne ascolta il racconto. Frankenstein, dopo una serena infanzia nella natia Svizzera, aveva studiato a Ingolstadt e, stretto amicizia con Henry Clerval (Tom Hulce), si era dedicato alla realizzazione del suo sogno: creare un essere vivente. Riuscitoci, aveva dovuto prendere atto che il mostro (Robert De Niro) gli provocava solo orrore e perciò l’aveva ripudiato. Ma la creatura si era rivelata vendicativa.

Vedi tutto su TMDBExcellent version of an enduring classic This is not a monster movie in any shallow slasher sense. It probes and contemplates some eternal questions humans have been pondering for thousands of years, set in a time when so many things we know today were yet unknown, adding to the mystery and horror of the situations that occurred. This movie has pathos, sumptuous sets, costumes and screenplay, s…
***Gothic mania with Kenneth Branagh, Robert DeNiro and Helena Bonham Carter*** Kenneth Branagh's 1994 version of the oft-filmed Frankenstein story was the most faithful to Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel up to that point, which explains its name. It features fine actors and looks great (sets, costumes, locations, etc). There are several quality scenes, like the creature's time spent with the peasant…
Kenneth Branagh made quite an artistic hit with his first film **HENRY V**. Next, he had great critical and financial success with his popcorn flick,** DEAD AGAIN**! The success of both of those films meant he could take on any project he wanted. He chose **MARY SHELLY'S FRANKENSTEIN**. He would return to direct and star as Victor Frankenstein. He would bring along many of his friends includin…
This could have been a far better interpretation of the wonderful story of the man-monster but it lacks potency. Frequently a problem when one of the stars is also the director; the focus becomes a bit blurred and in this - despite the super performance of Robert de Niro in the title role - the result is a rather meandering story devoid of the usual swathe of emotions "Frankenstein" usually evokes…
