Guillermo Del Toro's The Shape Of Water Joins The Criterion Collection Soon

As a cinephile with a penchant for the fantastical and the poignant, I can hardly contain my excitement about Guillermo del Toro’s masterpiece, “The Shape of Water,” joining The Criterion Collection. This 4K Blu-ray edition, available from November 26, is more than just a movie to me – it’s an immersive experience that transcends the screen and lingers in the mind long after the credits roll.


In a short while, Guillermo del Toro’s critically acclaimed movie “The Shape of Water” will become part of the prestigious Criterion Collection. Starting November 26, you can preorder the 4K Blu-ray edition for $35 at Amazon, which is a 30% discount from its original price of $50. This captivating love story (though it may seem unusual with its protagonists being a lonely woman and a humanoid amphibian) beautifully demonstrates del Toro’s unique directorial style and meticulous attention to detail in crafting a convincing universe. Often considered as one of del Toro’s masterpieces, “The Shape of Water” won both Best Picture and Best Director at the 2018 Academy Awards.

Before you re-watch The Shape of Water, consider reading the co-authored official novelization by del Toro. Currently available in hardcover at $31 and Kindle version for $13. Notably, a new paperback edition of The Shape of Water’s official novelization is planned for release in May next year.

One week before the grand 40th anniversary celebration of Criterion, “The Shape of Water” is set to be released. A special 40-film collection titled CC40 will hit shelves on November 19. The retail price is listed at $800, but you can pre-order it on Amazon for $560.
