Guillermo del Toro's 'Frankenstein' received an unprecedented 13-minute standing ovation at its Venice Film Festival premiere.
Stars Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi were deeply moved by the audience's reaction, visibly emotional during the applause.
This gothic reimagining of Mary Shelley's classic tale is predicted to be a serious awards contender, possibly winning big awards.
Del Toro, fulfilling a longtime ambition, expressed his elation while also humorously describing experiencing 'postpartum depression' post-premiere.
