The costumes in Frankenstein by Guillermo del Toro: layers of fabric & layers of meaning

The only correct reaction after watching Frankenstein by Guillermo del Toro is doing an unnecessarily long video talking about the costumes, right? right?! Anyways, that's what I did 😅 In this video, I go deep into all the layers of meaning and the symbology of the amazing costume designs created by Kate Hawley, I talk about what I liked (and what I didn't), and do a few comparisons between other Frankenstein versions and, of course, the original book by Mary Shelley. Did you watch the film? Did you like it? Isn't Jacob Elordi the cutest monster ever created? Let me know in the comments!
