“CRONOS is an exploded view of my brain.”
—Guillermo del Toro

“Edgar Allan Poe with a sense of humor, del Toro not only has fun mixing genres, he knows how to convey his enjoyment and make the result distinctly his own.”
—The Los Angeles Times

Guillermo del Toro’s first feature is a thrilling amalgam of science fiction and philosophy. The title refers to a device that can give the bearer immortality. When an antiques dealer finds the strange gadget, his life changes, but who can say if it is for the better or not. A kind of skeleton key to del Toro’s later work and a very entertaining film on its own merits. New 4K restoration.
