Marvel started me on these "Art of" books with their excellent, high quality line. While I don't buy art books for every film (not even the ones I really enjoy) I immediately preordered Crimson Peak when it was announced. I loved Pan's Labyrinth and El Orfanato, so I new Guillermo Del Toro's imagery and designs would be unique, creative and macabre. Happily, I wasn't wrong.While the film has some issues, I still enjoyed it. The book is the same. It has stunning photography throughout from the film, including images from the posters, but there are also a handful of "curiosities" tucked into the pages. These include replica photos featured in the film, letters, biographies, and more tacked onto the pages (they can be removed easily), plus a pocket built into the back cover which holds a poster. The book has beautiful production values: thick, glossy pages, full color and a heaviness to it.Further, the text is brilliant - enriching the mythology of the film to a whole new level. I cannot wait to watch it again to see some of what I missed and look at other things with new insight. There are chapters on each of the four main characters, including some of their biography to help provide additional perspective into their motivations. But the best sections are easily the house and the ghosts. Simply seeing the house in the film, you marvel at the level of detail and sumptuousness of the set. Del Toro's process for designing it is engrossing. The ghosts, which were my favorite part of the film, also have backstories and purpose. I love how the first and last ghosts we see are black, with the 3 red ones haunting the house and then one, lone, white ghost. The use of color and texture truly sets the film apart from others. Everything here enriches the film experience.I do have a couple minor criticisms. If you watch my video, you'll hear a slight peeling sound. The book arrives tightly sealed in plastic to keep the extras enclosed. But it is VERY tight so that some of the pages stick together upon opening. Unfortunately, this results in a ghosting effect where ink is transferred to the opposite page - which is very noticeable since almost all the pages are black with white text. Plus, one of the inserts has staples in it that caused an indentation in several pages. Second, this book really needs a slipcase to protect those curiosities from falling out after you've opened it. The Marvel books are sold at the same price point, and include a case, so I'm not sure why one wasn't included. I would have happily paid a bit more to get one, just to ensure nothing is lost.Overall, the book is beautiful and I do not regret the purchase at all, despite these minor negatives. If you are a fan of Del Toro, Gothic imagery, or art books in general, this is a great purchase. Highly recommended.
Upon opening the book I knew this was a book was a labor of love.The book is put together like one of Del Toro's film itself with deliberate intention to serve a specific purpose. There are "newspaper clippings" of in depth detailed biographies of each of the characters in the film. There are costume sketches from Kate Hawley the custom designer. There are several behind the scene pages dedicated to building the magnificent Allerdale Hall itself. There are fun little pull outs like the Thomas Sharpe letter to Edith Cushing featured in the film. On the back cover there is an envelope that contains a beautiful promotional poster for the movie itself. For the money I say you are getting a bargin. It is easily a $50 book. I have included photos so that you can see what I am talking about
Although the book is beautiful, I was very disappointed in the print quality. Many of the pages were stuck together when I received it, and there are also creases on some of the pages from the inserts. The silver ink used for the printing transferred over to the opposite pages, and in some places when I separated the pages it left white marks.
I had been eagerly awaiting this since I pre-ordered. Literally within the hour of hearing this book would be produced, I hit the *order* button.(Unfortunately, the first copy I got was ruined by poor delivery handling. Just as fortunately, Amazon's fantastic customer service policy ensured I received a pristine copy the next day).And the hype? Totally warranted. This is perhaps the most gorgeous "coffee table book" I've ever seen. Each turning of a page reveals even more sumptuous, gorgeously rendered and detailed visual art: photos, drawings, pull-out items - all. And the written descriptions are detailed and eloquent, providing real insight to production design decisions. As I'm typing this, my son, not exactly a Gothic Romance fan, is turning the pages and exclaiming: "oooh.... oh, look at that contrast!" and "wow, pretty!" and "I want his workshop." and "spooky!".This is a treasure trove.
As much as I love "Crimson Peak," reading through all the details and techniques and symbols placed inside each niche of the film; in sound and architecture and costume among others; really made me think of what went wrong. When Del Toro had such rich backstories for each character, when the House itself was meant to be a living character, what happened? Why did the scenes that were supposed to show the grandness of all the talent poured into the movie end up having a thin main male character, a Mary Sue protagonist, and a borderline just odd female villain accompanied by some great visuals? Compared to what this book says the movie was supposed to be, the end result falls so short. So was it the script? Was it dialogue or direction or editing? Honestly I am sitting here thinking "Crimson Peak" should have been done in a different way with all the care that went into a story that was not even quarterly told: 1) With Thomas as the leading character or 2) as a limited television series.That goes to show how amazing this art book was. There is so much more to the heartbeat of the film than what the camera showed us a year ago.
