The Shape of Things Past


When you have a baby to care for, a full time job, and are going to Grad School, you miss a few things. That was my situation two years ago when Guillermo Del Toro's Best Picture masterpiece was released. Despite being a huge fan of his work, I just wasn't ever able to catch this one when it came out. I corrected that oversight last night.

This is one of those rare movies where everything comes together. The story, the acting, the score, and the way it looked were all incredible. Set in the early '60s, but re-imagined through a fairy tale lens, this is the story of a Top Secret cold war asset that turns out to be a remarkable specimen of other worldly characteristics and the mute woman who falls in love with him.
