Frankenstein: A Modern Myth
Well-made overview of the ongoing impact of Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein, featuring footage from Danny Boyle's theatrical production (which apparently ended its run 18 months ago! Time flies). Lots of analysis of the continued relevance of the tale; lots of clever editing with archive footage, often drawing comparisons and parallels of its own. Good stuff.
[Watch it (again) on 4oD.]
