Pan's Labyrinth (El Laberinto del Fauno - 2006) - No Gay Content

PanslabyrinthBy Guest Reviewer Jimbo.info

Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, creator of Blade II, Hellboy and Mimic gets serious with Pan's Labyrinth, but doesn't discard his skill with fantastic visuals.  Contrasting childhood wonder with the horrors of reality, he brings us into the two worlds of an 11-year-old girl living through the Spanish Civil War.

Pan

Panslabyrinthfaungirl In the girl's fantasy world a faun gives her three tasks that will allow her ascendance to her true father's side. As her tasks grow more difficult, so do the challenges of real life with an ailing mother, a vicious stepfather, and keeping a dire secret. Sergi López plays the girl's stepfather, a cruel fascist captain, with disturbing alacrity that I hope gains him deserving recognition.

Hi Augusto!
I told u this movie was excellent.
It's a great candidate to the foreign language Oscar together with Volver. I don't know which one I prefer.

If you liked this one you should definitely see "El Espinazo Del Diablo" (The Devil's Backbone) and "Cronos" both very good horror/thriller movies with great storylines.
