This week at The Film Club we’re talking about the legendary Director James Whale who brought some of our favorite movie monsters to life on the big screen. Gods and Monsters tells the story of the last days of James Whale’s life as well as showing us how he came to be the Hollywood legend through flashbacks of his directorial career, life on the battlefield, and his childhood. James strikes up a friendship with his gardener Clay Boone and uses Clay as his new model to be sketched. It’s during these sessions with Clay that he learns about James’ life and how a recent stroke is affecting James’ mind. James’ mind is being plagued with deep buried memories of his past and dream sequences of his biggest films fusing with reality. Join us as we deep dive into the world of Gods and Monsters.
