Frankenstein is the film del Toro has openly wanted to make for thirty years, and his whole career has been one long argument that the monster is the most human thing in any room — the faun, the amphibian man, Hellboy. He brings that conviction to Shelley's creature, where the sympathy isn't a twist but the entire point. Besson's Dracula: A Love Tale is the work of a stylist; he's always been a maker of gorgeous surfaces, from The Fifth Element to Lucy, and the romance here is staged for sweep rather than ache. When the contest rewards a director with something deeply felt to say, decades of obsession overpower a beautiful object. Early returns, but the conviction reads.
