Pan’s Labyrinth is by far the best foreign film I’ve seen since, oh I dunno, forever.
Guillermo del Toro crafts a fantastic masterpiece with an original plot and fascinating visual effects. The story is about a little girl finding herself in the middle of a civil war in Spain and having to cope with all the violence and stress that comes with war. Her means of escape? A majestic world of fantasy.Not only was the film visually exciting, but the intensity of the plot and the hypnotic soundtrack added to that overall atmosphere of magic. Excellent film. Something I recommend for all to see.
