46 - The Shape of Water

Eavesdropping at the Movies · Feb 26, 2018 · 34m

Guillermo del Toro's gorgeous, bizarre monster romance is one of the films dominating the awards conversation, but what do we make of it? We discuss its characterisation, its performances, its cinematography, its relationship with the classic cinema and fairytales from which it builds. We use the word "beautiful" about two hundred times. Recorded on 21st February 2018.
