In this behind-the-scenes feature, Mia Goth and Guillermo del Toro walk viewers through a pivotal scene from Frankenstein, and it’s pure cinema therapy. Del Toro’s passion is palpable as he describes blending handcrafted set pieces with modern visual effects, while Goth discusses finding vulnerability in the grotesque.
The pair talk about makeup as storytelling, lighting as emotion, and performance as a kind of resurrection. Del Toro calls the creature “a reflection of every part of ourselves we hide,” and Goth nods quietly — her expression says she knows exactly what that means. For cinephiles, this is gold: a rare look at process, philosophy, and creative intimacy between two true artists.
