Award-winning director and Death Stranding NPC Guillermo del Toro's film The Shape of Water will soon join The Criterion Collection. The new 4K Blu-ray edition releases November 26 and is available to preorder now for $35 at Amazon, a 30% discount from its $50 list price. A love story at its core--albeit a weird romance tale involving an alienated woman and a humanoid amphibian--the film brilliantly showcases del Toro's distinctive style and detail-oriented approach to building a believable world. Arguably del Toro's best film, The Shape of Water won Best Picture and Best Director at the 2018 Academy Awards.
While you wait to rewatch The Shape of Water, we'd recommend checking out the official novelization co-authored by del Toro. It's available now in hardcover for $31 and Kindle for $13. It's worth noting a new paperback edition of The Shape of Water's official novelization is slated for release next May.
The Shape of Water releases just one week prior to Criterion's big 40th anniversary celebration. A 40-film box set dubbed CC40 releases November 19. The set carries an $800 list price, but you can preorder it from Amazon for $560.
