The Shape of Water has dazzled critics and thrilled fans with the return of Hellboy favourite Abe.
The Gothic fantasy tells the origin story of the amphibeous hero as he falls in love with Hawkins’ mute, Eliza.
The movie scooped the Golden Lion top prize at the international festival and Del Toro.
The director revealed his joy at accepting the prestigious prize: “If you remain pure and stay with your faith, whatever you have faith in, in my case it’s monsters, eventually things go right.”
He added: “I’ve been doing this for 25 years. You go up, you go down. You fly, you land, you crash. A career is an accident in slow motion. It’s not a trajectory you plan.”

The other two members of the”Three Amigos” both swept the board at the Oscars after their Golden Lion, Cuaron with Gravity and Inarritu with Birdman.
Critics have been unanimous in their praise for the movie.
Guy Lodge from Variety Called The Shape of Water: “A ravishing, eccentric auteur’s imagining, spilling artistry, empathy and sensuality from every open pore, it also offers more straight-up movie for your money than just about any Hollywood studio offering this year.”
The Shape of Water is out in UK cinemas on February 16, 2018.
