Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities
Synopsis:
Over the last two decades, writer-director
Guillermo del Toro has mapped out a territory in the popular imagination that
is uniquely his own, astonishing audiences with Cronos, Hellboy, Pan’s
Labyrinth, and a host of other films and creative endeavors. Now, for the first
time, del Toro reveals the inspirations behind his signature artistic motifs,
sharing the contents of his personal notebooks, collections, and other
obsessions. The result is a startling, intimate glimpse into the life and mind
of one of the world’s most creative visionaries. Complete with running
commentary, interview text, and annotations that contextualize the ample visual
material, this deluxe compendium is every bit as inspired as del Toro is
himself.
Contains a foreword by James Cameron, an
afterword by Tom Cruise, and contributions from other luminaries, including
Neil Gaiman and John Landis, among others. [Amazon]
