The Shape of Water

The Shape of Water (2017) is an American fantasy film directed by Guillermo del Toro. Winner of the Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director, it follows a mute janitor at a secret government lab who forms an extraordinary bond with an amphibious creature held captive there.

Del Toro at the peak of his powers. A Cold War fairy tale that earns every ounce of its sentiment through craft and commitment. One of the most visually distinctive films of the decade.
