Lethbridge Herald EntertainmentTORONTO — Guillermo del Toro slipped into the Criterion Closet at the Toronto International Film Festival and some wondered if he might ever come back out.
The Oscar-winning “Shape of Water” director popped by the viral TIFF hot spot, which affords movie lovers three minutes to make their own social media moment by picking from thousands of DVD and Blu-ray titles in the curated Criterion Collection.
He spent nearly 15 minutes inside the truck, leaving Criterion staff to knock on the door telling him his time was up.
The obsessive cinephile emerged with a stack of 10 films. Most of their titles were hidden, though Alfonso Cuarón’s 2018 drama “Roma” was visible in the pile.
Del Toro is at TIFF to promote his upcoming Netflix film “Frankenstein.”
“I stole a few,” he said on his way out.
