Pan's Labyrinth

It's not often the word 'masterpiece' rolls off the toungues of film critics but thats precicely the case with gothic fairytale Pan's Labyrinth. It is director Guillermo del Toro's most ambitious films to date. Set against the backdrop of fascist Spain, del Toro skillfully weaves between brutal reality and spellbinding otherworldly adventures.

Carmen and her daughter Ofelia move into the house of her new husband, the coldly authorian Vidal, a captain in Franco's army. Finding her new life hard to bear, the young girl seeks refuge in a mysterious labyrinth she discovers next to the sprawling family house. Pan, a magical creature, reveals that she is none other than the long lost princess of a magical kingdom. To discover the truth, Ofelia will have to accomplish three tasks. Pan's Labyrinth is a captivating testament to the power of imagination.
