Who is Guillermo Del Toro?

On January 21st, Nightmare Alley, the new psychological thriller from Guillermo del Toro, hit UK cinemas. Let’s pay tribute to a truly extraordinary director, novelist, producer, and screenwriter. Believe it or not, the Mexican hadn't released a single film since 2017 before Nightmare Alley. That was The Shape of Water, which won Best Picture and Best Director awards at the Oscars the following year. He took a hiatus after that, which was extended due to Covid-related delays, but the master is back in 2022.

What is so exceptional about Del Toro's work then? Is it true he could have worked on Harry Potter? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
