“It is love that asks, that seeks, that knocks, that finds, and that is faithful to what it finds.”
St Augustine
Del Toro has long been fascinated by outsiders, wounded souls who expose the moral failures of the society that rejects them. Here he asks a piercingly simple question: What would a sinless man become in a sinful world?
Del Toro answers in a visual language as dense as the story he tells: baroque, shadow drenched, at times grotesque, yet shot through with delicate reverence for the human form. With his typical imaginative excess, embroidered fabrics, medieval silhouettes, warping towers, he sets the stage not merely for horror, but for tragedy.
