Pan's Labyrinth

I rented this film but hadn’t realised it is subtitled throughout which didn’t seem obvious to me in the ITunes description. If your happy with subtitles, a fantasy film and some harsh reality it’s a very good film. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 is because of the subtitles.

The Extras Please Thank You

Set against the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War, this jet-black fairytale tells of a young girl’s escape into a fantastical world of fairies, fauns and monsters. In juxtaposing political and social upheaval with the rich mythology of Ofelia and the faun, del Toro creates a world in which true monsters wield the gun and the bayonet. The performances are outstanding and, in particular, Sergi Lopez invests one of the great screen villains with a rare depth and nuance (and, because of this, his Vidal is all the more terrifying). This is, in my opinion, a perfect, beautiful, unsettling and terrifying masterpiece which requires watching and rewatching.

You have to see this movie!!!

Dark, at times disturbing and utterly brilliant. This film is so beautiful yet terrifying that everyone should watch it.
