Master storyteller Guillermo del Toro does it again; The Shape of Water is another masterpiece. Yes, I am a huge fan of his work and I can get lost in the worlds he creates. This film is beautiful to watch; it’s sexy and well-acted.

Sally Hawkins is amazing as Elisa. I see an Oscar nom, and one word describes this film, LUSCIOUS!

The Shape of Water is another-worldly fable, set against the backdrop of Cold War era America circa 1962. In the hidden high-security government laboratory where she works, lonely Elisa (Sally Hawkins) is trapped in a life of isolation. Elisa’s life is changed forever when she and co-worker Zelda (Octavia Spencer) discover a secret classified experiment. Rounding out the cast are Michael Shannon, Richard Jenkins, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Doug Jones.
Doing one-on-one interviews are great but doing roundtables can be quite candid and fun. This past November we got to sit down with most of the cast and the director of The Shape of Water; where we got to hear some interesting takes of everyone’s characters and their approach to it. All the conversations were lively and now you can listen in on them. Just click on the audio boxes.
