Why do filmmakers love making movies about an artist’s creative process? It’s an act of cinematic sadomasochism, attempting to bring to life a story in which, by its very nature, the exciting stuff is happening inside your hero’s head. Undeterred, first-time director Nora Unkel’s A Nightmare Wakes follows Mary Shelley as she is writing her epochal 1818 novel Frankenstein, from its beginnings as a playful challenge issued by party poet Lord Byron to its publication. As stories like this one go, there’s plenty to work with: Mary Shelley was the mistress, then wife, of Percy Shelley, the romantic poet. Their relationship was disapproved of by both families and the couple were beset by challenges during that fertile creative period, including the death of their prematurely born child, the suicide of Shelley’s first wife and Shelley’s persistent philandering.
