Clip: 3/11/2022 | 2m 7sVideo has Closed Captions

Guillermo del Toro explains the inspiration for his Oscar-nominated film.

In the new Oscar-nominated film "Nightmare Alley," Bradley Cooper plays a 1930s grifter who reinvents himself as a mentalist -- and then falls into the trap of believing his own hype. Guillermo del Toro directed and co-wrote the film, and he speaks with Christiane about his story's painful relevance for these times.
