I thought this was a masterpiece and some members might have seen it
Pan's Labyrinth is a fanciful and chilling story set against the backdrop of a fascist regime in 1944 rural Spain.
(From Guillermo Del Toro)
The film centers on Ofelia, a lonely and dreamy child living with her mother and adoptive father;
a military officer tasked with riding the area of rebels.
In her loneliness, Ofelia creates a world filled with fantastical creatures and secret destinies.
With post-war repression at its height, Ofelia must come to terms with her through a fable of her own creation.
DVD Release: May 2007
The fact that the film was in Spanish made it far more magical and beautiful.
Besides, the director decided to not make it into an English film because the Hollywood press probably would have ruined it.
(It is available with English subtitles)
