The Criterion Release of Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ Is Jaw Dropping Guillermo del Toro has long been a champion of physical media, and the recent announcement that his Netflix produced film "Frankenstein" will be released by Criterion on Blu ray is more than just a celebration of high quality video.
It's a reminder of the increasingly blurred lines between artistic ownership and commercial interests.
Del Toro's involvement in the release is no surprise – he has a reputation for being meticulous about the presentation of his work, even when it's not under his direct control.
