Product: Gods and Monsters (1998)
Rating: 5.0
A truly poignant, touching film
This is a fabulous movie adapted from a wonderful book. Both are worth purchasing. The novel is called "Father of Frankenstein," by Christopher Bram. I read (and loved) the book before seeing the movie, and initially, I was hesitant to see the film version at all. So many film adaptations of great books excise the heart and soul of the original. But I was convinced to see the movie and was very pleasantly surprised. It is subtle, touching, and poignant. To sum it up: this movie is simply well written, well directed, well made, and especially well acted. Do yourself a favor and see this movie -- it is truly touching. But first, read the book. Both will impress you.
