Review of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994) by Tess V — 26 Dec 2018
As a big fan of the book, I have to say that not a lot of movies could have held up to scrutiny. Although this version takes artistic licence (the mom, the creature's origin, Elizabeth's fate), it remains an outstanding movie more than worth (at least one) viewing.
People who have never read the book can delight in the storytelling and lush direction, while those of us with an attachment to the book can celebrate the Miltonic, Promethian, and Tamboran touches that made it in to the script (at last).
With excellent actors in all the roles, the retention of the Arctic exploration frame narrative, and obvious love for Shelley's creation, this is truly a beautiful movie that I will never tire of watching.
