Film Description
A riveting and poignant salute to a tragic pioneer of motion pictures, Sir Ian McKellen gives the performance of a lifetime in this critically acclaimed masterpiece playing the father of Frankenstein, James Whale.
The Oscar-winning Gods and Monsters stars Ian McKellen as James Whale, the director of the classic 1931 film 'Frankenstein'. In the film, Whale has slipped into a comfortable but monotonous retirement, living with his housekeeper Hanna (Lynn Redgrave) and lounging in the Los Angeles sun. Then his solitary existence is disrupted by two events: a visit from a curious film student who wants to find out more about the golden age of Hollywood, and the arrival of a new gardener (Brendan Fraser), to whom Whale finds himself attracted.
