The Curse of Frankenstein
En collaboration avec Figura (UQAM), nous vous proposons pour quelques semaines des films représentant le célèbre Frankenstein, imaginé par l’écrivaine britannique Mary Shelley. Plutôt «figure» que simple personnage, il se décline en de nombreux films, en des variations parfois fantastiques et toujours troublantes.
Using the body of a thief, the hands of a sculptor and the brain of a scientist, the sinister Baron Frankenstein wants to create a human being personifying the ideal man. But he will give life to a monstrous creature of superhuman strength that will spread terror around him.
Terence Fisher
Terence Fisher is a British film director. He is best known for directing the most famous films of the British Hammer Film Productions, such as Frankenstein Escaped and Dracula's Nightmare, which revived the old fantasy myths with colorful, realistic sets and a gothic atmosphere. His version of Dracula is particularly important for the aesthetics of vampire films and fantasy cinema in general: it's the first time we see Dracula's prominent canines, blood on screen, and unprecedented erotic tension. He also revealed the two actors: Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee.
