Yorgos Lanthimos’ awards-tipped black comedy Poor Things is the latest in a long line of movies to put a unique spin on Mary Shelley’s classic novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. The story is sometimes held up as the oldest work of science fiction, and the ideas and fears inspired by its depiction of a scientist’s power to create life have reverberated through generations.The first filmed version of Frankenstein was released all the way back in 1910, but the character truly entered the mainstream cinematic consciousness with Universal’s 1931 monster movie Frankenstein, starring Boris Karloff as the titular monster. Since then, there have been countless other cinematic interpretations of the idea in a plethora of genres.The film was directed by Kenneth Branagh, who also starred as the titular scientist. Helena Bonham Carter was his fiancée and Robert De Niro was the famous creature. While the film’s plot closely follows Shelley’s novel, it is still filled with all the gothic design flair associated with the classic Frankenstein movies. Giant sets, even bigger machines, lots of lighting, and a shirtless Kenneth Branagh is very much the film’s aesthetic.
