Cronos

À propos de ce film

Guillermo del Toro made an auspicious and audacious feature debut with Cronos, a highly unorthodox tale about the seductiveness of the idea of immortality. Kindly antiques dealer Jesús Gris (Federico Luppi) happens upon an ancient golden device in the shape of a scarab, and soon finds himself the possessor and victim of its sinister, addictive powers, as well as the target of a mysterious American named Angel (a delightfully crude and deranged Ron Perlman). Featuring marvelous special makeup effects and the haunting imagery for which del Toro has become world-renowned, Cronos is a dark, visually rich, and emotionally captivating fantasy.

Notes et avis

I hate to use a review to address this, but since we can't respond to other's reviews, this will have to do. If you leave a one star review because you thought this film was about the titans of greek mythology, you are a douche. You are not rating the film, you are rating your ability to make informed decisions and more than likely, your intelligence. There is a blurb and a trailer on the same screen that you purchase from. It is immediately clear that this film has nothing to do with the titans, so if you purchased the film thinking that was the case, thats on you. don't one star a film just because you are an idiot.

Well-done in all aspects of acting, storytelling. A strange morbid twist on family love. Raul Julia, co-stars as the plot upset.

This film is awesome, great script and actors. The movie is creepy but not quite horror. Definitely a good film if you don't mind subtitles.
