Pan's Labyrinth is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. I believe it is the work of a master at the height of his craft. Every element is thought out to the most minute detail. I dream of being able to make a film this stunningly perfect.
The reality scenes are more horrific by far than the fantasy scenes and Capitan Vidal is a villain of the highest order.
A little girl who doesn't quite feel a part of her own family - because her real family is searching for her
A Mother who will do anything to keep her family alive - including take protection from a monster
A Master of control who faces a little girl who step into a world he cannot even conceive of
A guide to the other world who deceives in order to test
Ultimately it is about sacrifice and faith with an almost Brazil-like finale
