Cronos (4K Restoration)
1993 | R | 1 hr 33 mins
Directed by: Guillermo del Toro
Starring: Federico Luppi, Ron Perlman
In Spanish with English subtitles
Guillermo del Toro made an auspicious and audacious feature debut with Cronos, a highly unorthodox tale about the seductiveness of the idea of immortality. Kindly antiques dealer Jesús Gris (Federico Luppi) happens upon an ancient golden device in the shape of a scarab, and soon finds himself the possessor and victim of its sinister, addictive powers, as well as the target of a mysterious American named Angel (a delightfully crude and deranged Ron Perlman). Featuring marvelous makeup effects and the haunting imagery for which del Toro has become world-renowned, Cronos is a dark, visually rich, and emotionally captivating fantasy.
Supervised and approved by director Guillermo del Toro, the new 4K restoration of Cronos was undertaken by Les Films du Camélia in collaboration with BFI at L’Immagine Ritrovata with the support of Cartier and was created from the 35 mm original camera negative. The 2.0 surround soundtrack was remastered from the 35 mm magnetic soundtrack by The Criterion Collection.
