Actors

Guillerme Del Toro (Himself)

Del Toro seamlessly merges his Mexican roots with cultural elements from Hollywood, Paris, and Guadalajara in his creative work.
If Guillermo del Toro loves to remind everyone that he’s a citizen of the world, he is constantly blending his Mexican culture with those of his adopted artistic homes, Hollywood, Paris and of course his hometown of Guadalajara. It’s in these world cities, his source of inspiration, that he puts his talent for cultural syncretism to work, his Mexican soul’s inheritance, like a Minotaur – half man, half monster – who struggles to find his way through a maze.. Sangre del Toro is a film that unrolls like Ariadne’s thread in an enchanted labyrinth where everything is a sign and a symbol. Everything is a clue to interpreting the Mexican director’s humanistic and monstrous universe. From Guadalajara to Paris, our Minotaur, guardian of his artistic labyrinth, guides us himself on this initiatory journey to solve the riddles of his films.
“’Sangre Del Toro’ provides illuminating insight into its subject’s creative process and some of his finest creations, but its real selling point is an earnest enthusiasm for art and imagery of all kinds.” – Ready Steady Cut
“A brisk, entertaining documentary about the award-winning Mexican filmmaker (that) leaves us hungry to learn more about the inner workings of the man.” – Screen Daily
“’Sangre del Toro’ is an affectionate and revealing dive into what made him who he is, a monster-obsessed movie maker who makes movies that give those monsters personalities, heartaches, fears and agendas that connect to the hallmarks and the failings of humanity.” – Movie Nation
