Watching a Guillermo del Toro film can be a sobering experience, showing us just how expansive and expressive film can be. He’s one of the true directors to really take command of his visuals and every minute detail, pushing story and character in ways that most people couldn’t dream of.
This video, The Role of Color in the Films of Guillermo Del Toro, is a great dissection of the director’s visual flair and how he doesn’t let a single thing go to waste. The clip was created by Kian Linares as a video essay for Bournemouth University’s Narrative Constructions unit.
Bonus: Crimson Peak and Bava’s influence on del Toro!
