Francis Ford Coppola is a fan of Frankenstein, the latest Guillermo Del Toro directorial that is out on Netflix India. The other day, the legendary filmmaker, known for The Godfather trilogy and Apocalypse Now, among others, shared an appreciation post for Del Toro's film on social media. The filmmaker called it "an elegant and unique composition about love and beauty told in a most personal and original way." He also described Del Toro as a "cinematic genius," saying we are fortunate to have him "guide and enlighten and illuminate our lives in a way no one else can." The filmmaker also commended Dan Laustsen's "beautiful images" and the "memorable performances" by Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Christoph Waltz and Mia Goth. "Moments flow out of them like an uncontrollable fountain of passionate joy," wrote Coppola in his brief Frankenstein movie review.

The film stars Isaac in the titular role of a scientist whose big experiment leads to the creation of his biggest monster (Elordi's The Creature) yet. While the film is streaming on Netflix, it is also available in specific theatres in the USA. Every other day, Del Toro takes to social media to remind viewers that the film is out in theatres as well.
