Guillermo del Toro's Second Criterion Closet Picks

September 7, 2025

The Criterion Closet’s very first guest stops by the Mobile Closet at the Toronto International Film Festival, where he examines the technical brilliance of a scene in Notorious, shares why he feels a kinship with Wes Anderson, and talks about drawing inspiration from Martin Scorsese’s powerful explorations of repression.
