Cronos (Criterion Collection)

Guillermo del Toro made an auspicious, audacious feature debut with CRONOS, a highly unorthodox tale about the seductiveness of the idea of immortality. Kindly antiques dealer Jesz's Gris happens upon an ancient golden device in the shape of a scarab, and soon finds himself possessor and victim of it's sinister, addictive powers, as well as the target of a mysterious, crude American named Angel (a delightfully deranged Ron Perlman). Featuring marvelous special makeup effects and the unforgettably haunting imagery for which del Toro has become world-renowned, CRONOS is a visually rich and emotionally captivating dark fantasy. Directed by Guillermo del Toro. Starring Frederico Luppi, Ron Perlman, Claudio Brook. Special Features include Commentary, Interviews, Booklet and more!
