LA INVENCIÓN DE CRONOS
CRONOS
A film by Guillermo del Toro
1993, Mexico, Horror/Mystery, 94 min
Starring: Federico Luppi, Ron Perlman, Claudio Brook, Daniel Giménez Cacho
In Spanish with English Subtitles
In 1535, an alchemist builds an extraordinary mechanism encapsulated into a small golden device. The invention, designed to convey eternal life to its owner, survives its maker until 1997, when it shows up with an antiques dealer. Fascinated with the strange device, Gris (Luppi) doesn't note that there's more than one person looking for it. The promise of eternal life has become an obsession for old and sick Mr. De la Guardia (Brook). He and his nephew (Perlman) will do anything to get the Chronos Invention. CRONOS is Guillermo del Toro's first feature film, and the only one he's realized in its entirety in Mexico.
En 1535, un alquemista construye un extraordinario mecanismo, encapsulado en un pequeño dispositivo de oro. La invención, diseñada para otorgar la vida eterna a su dueño, sobrevive a su fabricante hasta el año 1997, cuando reaparece a manos de un anticuario. Fascinado por el extraño aparato, Gris (Federico Luppi) no se da cuenta de que más de una persona lo está buscando. La promesa de vida eterna se ha convertido en la obsesión del viejo y enfermo Sr. de la Guardia (Claudio Brook). El y su sobrino (Ron Perlman) harán lo que sea necesario para conseguir la invención de Cronos. LA INVENCIÓN DE CRONOS es la opera prima de Guillermo del Toro, y la única película que ha realizado en su totalidad en México.
