A mysterious device designed to grant its owner eternal life reappears after four hundred years, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. In an interview included in the Criterion edition of this film, Ron Perlman talks about how Angel was meant to speak fluent Spanish. Ron Perlman tried this, but Guillermo del Toro found his reading completely unusable. So the character was changed to an expatriate American who hates being in Mexico so much that what little Spanish he does speak is deliberately spoken badly. When Jesús searches for Aurora after she takes Cronos, as he walks through two doors, he stops. . Behind him, reflected in the glass of the door, are the crew and equipment..

Severely underrated on this site, Cronos is a gripping story that captivates the viewer throughout its duration. Guillermo Del Toro’s first film is a thoughtful, heartbreaking story that, above all, manages to be fresh, intriguing, and unique, while also managing to capture the horror movie feel in the same vein as The Shining, in that it is a family film first and a horror film second. the meaning provided by the choreography. What Cronos manages to achieve is an assault on the mind and soul, the essence of what a horror film must achieve if it is to leave a lasting impression. Given this, I can see, to a certain extent, where the mediocre rating came from, it is not a blood fest, it does not offer a second scare, and it does not have any gratuitous scenes of eyes rated. of rusty axes, but as any true horror fan knows, these are only secondary attractions to superior horror films like The Shining, The Fog, and Cronos, if not completely. on the top, it is very close indeed. There are three things that stand out about this film and make it undoubtedly worth watching. The most subtle is the commentary on US-Mexico relations that Guillermo Del Toro has scattered throughout his film. It offers an interesting glimpse into how he, and no doubt many Mexicans, feel about their encounters with the US, that they are constantly trying to be dominated and that they have to stand up for themselves in order to succeed. The most obvious is the extremely notable Christian references and intentional name-play. Our protagonist, the antiquarian, is named Jesus for simple reincarnation issues, but there are plenty of “My God,” “My Lord”; and more such comments throughout the film, there is undoubtedly a subplot on the part of the directors to emphasize the goodness that still emanates from our protagonist. Jesus’ niece and wife are named Aurora and Mercedes respectively, and knowing the meanings of their names, which are “dawn or first light”; and “mercy”; gives the film’s ending a sense of completion. Finally, it is worth noting the acting on the part of Federico Lupi and Tamara Shanath, who provide the necessary gravitas even in movement, if not in voice, to convey the deep emotional bond between grandfather and granddaughter which, when everything is removed, is the main driving force of this story and the one that will make you come back for more.
