The Anatomy Lesson: Director’s Cut (2026)

The Anatomy Lesson: Director's Cut follows visionary filmmaker Guillermo del Toro during the production of his adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The documentary captures the development of creature designs, practical effects work, and del Toro's personal engagement with the novel's themes of creation, responsibility, and monstrosity.

Through workshops, design reviews, and on-set observation, the film documents the meticulous craft behind bringing a classic literary monster to life through del Toro's distinct Gothic lens — offering viewers a seat at the workbench of one of modern cinema's most imaginative world-builders.
