電影《水底情深》電影官方小說
由奇幻大師吉勒摩•戴托羅與Daniel Kraus合作創作一起結合驚悚與淒美的心碎愛情故事
以《羊男的迷宮》奠定極致暗黑美學的墨西哥大導-吉勒摩戴托羅所執導的全新力作《水底情深》,頂尖影評無不盛譽本片為導演生涯的顛峰之作。
這段超自然的異想旅程,故事背景大約設定在1963年美國的冷戰時期,60年代冷戰之後在政府祕密機構工作的清潔工,無法言語的她遇上實驗室裡神祕的兩棲人形生物,兩人的情感在密會之中逐漸滋長……
It is 1962, and Elisa Esposito─mute her whole life, orphaned as a child─is struggling with her humdrum existence as a janitor working the graveyard shift at Baltimore’s Occam Aerospace Research Center.
Were it not for Zelda, a protective coworker, and Giles, her loving neighbor, she doesn’t know how she’d make it through the day. Then, one fateful night, she sees something she was never meant to see, the Center’s most sensitive asset ever: an amphibious man, captured in the Amazon, to be studied for Cold War advancements.
The creature is terrifying but also magnificent, capable of language and of understanding emotions…and Elisa can’t keep away. Using sign language, the two learn to communicate. Soon, affection turns into love, and the creature becomes Elisa’s sole reason to live.
But outside forces are pressing in. Richard Strickland, the obsessed soldier who tracked the asset through the Amazon, wants nothing more than to dissect it before the Russians get a chance to steal it.
Elisa has no choice but to risk everything to save her beloved. With the help of Zelda and Giles, Elisa hatches a plan to break out the creature. But Strickland is on to them. And the Russians are, indeed, coming.
Developed from the ground up as a bold two-tiered release―one story interpreted by two artists in the independent mediums of literature and film―The Shape of Water is unlike anything you’ve ever read or seen.
