|

Victor frankenstein becomes obsessed with fashioning a man-Made creation. Working furiously day and night, his efforts are finally rewarded during an electrical storm as his creature struggles to life. Victor tries to kill the monster, but collapses in the effort.
Editor's Note
In this adaptation of the classic Mary Shelley tale, Kenneth Branagh stars as Victor Frankenstein, a man possessed by a mission to create life but painfully unaware of the consequences of his actions. He succeeds in his quest to create a man, but his creature (Robert De Niro) is both revolting and tragically aware of the effect he has on others. His creation escapes, and Frankenstein eventually gives him up for dead. The creature, however, is very much alive, tormented by his plight and plotting a horrible revenge. Shelley's novella is given a lush and lurid treatment by Branagh in this epic Gothic tragedy of a man who dares to play God. The film features a cast of strong supporting actors, including Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Hulce, Aidan Quinn, Ian Holm, and John Cleese.
Plot Summary
Kenneth Branagh's treatment of Mary Shelley's Gothic tale is a well photographed and faithful adaptation.
