Cronos (1992) - Guillermo del Toro

Cronos is the first feature film Mexican director Guillermo del Toro , and contains many elements that would characterize his filmography, like insects, Orphans, Vampires and Ron Perlman ...

Plot (Possible Spoiler )
"\u0026lt;\u0026lt; In 1536, fleeing from 'Inquisition' s alchemist Uberto Fulcanelli landed at Veracruz, Mexico.
Appointed official watchmaker of the viceroy, Fulcanelli was determined to perfect an 'invention that would get the key to eternal life. He called the
Gadget of Cronos ...
Four hundred years later, one night in 1937, part of the vault of a building collapsed.
Among the dead there 'was a man of strange skin color of the marble in the moonlight, with a mortal wound to the chest.
His last words were "Your Tempore."
Quell 'man was the' alchemist.
authorities located the residence of the deceased. What they found was never fully revealed to the public. It was a corpse and basins capable of collecting their blood.
After a brief investigation, the house and it contained were sold at a 'public auction.
Never in any list or inventory was referred to the Gadget of Cronos.
From what we know, has never existed ... >>
However, does anyone know of its existence and know where to look. Gadget of the Cronos is hidden all 'inside of a statuette of an angel, just like that in 1997 are in the store of 'antiquarian Jesús Gris. "

Cronos is a 1992 film directed by Guillermo del Toro. I do not know whether it is published in Italian, but the version I saw was a mixture of English and English, with subtitles in Italian .
Therefore, the 'antiquarian Jesús Gris, you can tell the main character, is the' Argentine actor Federico Luppi , here at his first collaboration with the director. will, in effect, part of the cast of El Espinazo del Diablo , The Devil's Backbone - The Devil's Backbone , 2001, and will make an appearance in El Laberinto del Fauno , Pan's Labyrinth - Pan's Labyrinth , 2006, in the role of King of the United Underground.
This is the first collaboration with director for the 'American actor Ron Perlman , here in the part of Angelo De la Guardia , henchman of his uncle Dieter de la Guardia old man' s business to the next Death, longing and of Eternal Life. In 2002, Perlman will be one of the main antagonists, the Vampire Reinhardt, in the movie Blade II , and will be in the makeup of the main character in the film Hellboy , 2004, and its sequel, Hellboy II: The Golden Army , 2008.
Dieter de la Guardia is interpreted by 'Mexican actor Claudio Brook , and not to forget the figure of' orphan Aurora Gris , grandson of Jesus, played by Tamara Shanath .

We can say that the film is the classic fairy tale of the Taurus, although it is not too great and at times might seem a trivial film for television.
Without giving too much away, there are elements which technically should belong to the sphere of 'Horror and a certain point the story takes a dark atmosphere, but everything is absolutely enjoyable without that there are scenes that are too strong, and that is commendable.
Angelo De la Guardia, though violent, actually shows a comic side, as well as other minor characters. I wonder if there is also a probable link between his name and the fact that Uncle tends to be surrounded by "angels", seeking the one containing the device.

's aesthetics Gadget of Cronos, the shape of a golden insect, suggests The Gold-Bug , Scarabeo D' Oro , short story written in 1843 by Edgar Allan Poe , but in terms of plot has little to do with the story of Del Toro.
Already his first film, the director also used to 'use of makeup to recreate the "leatherette" and in particular the skin of the victims of Cronos brilliant, as well as to make the most of his subsequent films.
Finally, a clarification. The poster shows a girl with the device of Cronos, but in the film there is no such thing.

I also documented on the figure of Fulcanelli , mysterious alchemist who lived in the early 1900s, which I do not know the true name nor dates of birth and death, and that according to legend, seems to have figured out how to turn base metal into gold, as well as the 'alchemist Nicholas Flamel with his Lapis Philosophorum , the Philosopher's Stone .
Other legends suggest, in fact, that Fulcanelli was just one of the pseudonyms employed by Flamel in the world to hide his immortality ...

Here is a trailer for the film ...
