Der Film

In 1816, Mary Shelley is invited to spend the summer on the banks of Lake Geneva. A violent storm inspires her to write Frankenstein , the gothic masterpiece that will forever change literature, as well as pop culture. Saudi Arabia’s first female director Haifaa Al-Mansour delivers a darkly romantic biopic with a stellar cast that pays homage to the 18-year-old writer who shook the foundations of conservatism.
