There are films that seem strange when you read the plot outline. You think to yourself, why would this be made? Then you find out that the perfect guy for this story is the director, so you think it could work. Well, Guillermo del Toro made this fantasy about a mute woman in 1962 who falls in love with an Amphibian Man. The Shape of Water is a great film full of wonderful performances ... however, it's the direction and technical elements of this Best Picture winner from 2017 that make it all work so perfectly. Upon rewatch, is it the best film of that year? Download and listen to Jack's take on this film as well as all the other greats from 2017 and hear which film he thinks deserves his Rewatch Oscar.
