<div class="gmail_default">When Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro was a kid growing up in Guadalajara, Mexico, he would draw monsters all day. His deeply Catholic grandmother even had him exorcised because of it. But when del Toro saw the 1931 film<em> Frankenstein</em>, his life changed. "I realized I understood my faith or my dogmas better through Frankenstein than through Sunday mass." His new adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic book drops on Netflix Nov. 7. He spoke with Terry Gross about getting over his fear of death, the design of Frankenstein's creature, and his opinion on generative AI. <div class="gmail_default"><div class="gmail_default">Also, Justin Chang reviews the Palme d'Or-winning film <em>It Was Just An Accident</em>. <br/><br/><div class="gmail_default">Follow <em>Fresh Air </em>on instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nprfreshair/"target="_blank"   >@nprfreshair</a>, and subscribe to our <a href="http://whyy.org/freshair"target="_blank"   >weekly newsletter</a> for gems from the <em>Fresh Air</em> archive, staff recommendations, and a peek behind the scenes. <div class="gmail_default"></div></div></div></div></div><br/><br/>Learn more about sponsor message choices: <a href="https://podcastchoices.com/adchoices">podcastchoices.com/adchoices</a><br/><br/><a href="https://www.npr.org/about-npr/179878450/privacy-policy">NPR Privacy Policy</a>
