- Synopsis:
- Visionary director Guillermo del Toro creates a unique, richly imagined epic with Pan's Labyrinth, a gothic fairy tale set against the postwar era of Fanco's Spain. Pan's Labyrinth unfolds throught the eyes of Ofelia, a young girl uprooted to a remote military outpost commanded by her new stepfather. Powerless and lonely in a place of great danger, Ofelia lives out her own dark fable as she confronts monsters both otherworldly and human after she discovers a neglected labyrith behind the family home. There she meets Pan, a fantastical creature who challenges her with three tasts which he claims will reveal her true identity.

Unexpectedly Brilliant! - Pan's Labyrinth review by CP Customer
I Highly recommend this film.
First of all there are really two interconnected (?) stories in this film that are both interesting.
The real and invented (?) world's that Ofelua lives in are gripping. I saw this one in the cinema and the time passed so quickly I can't wait for this one to come out so I can see it again. I feel it's best that I don't say anymore, you need to 'discover' this one for yourself

a work of Art - Pan's Labyrinth review by CP Customer
This is easily one of my top ten films of all time! It is amazing! The title may confuse you into thinking this is a kids film - it is not David Bowie's 'Labyrinth' - far from it! There are no upbeat jingles, or Jim Henson puppets here. Just atmospheric and haunting orchestral meoldies, fantastical and beautiful scenes reminicant of a brothers grim fairy tale. Its unexpected, magical, imaginative, beautiful, creepy and an epic to watch over and over again.

Superb film making - Pan's Labyrinth review by CP Customer
A fairy tale for adults, and it definitely is for adults as there are some scary bits and graphic torture scenes. It is about a young girl called Ophelia who's widowed mother marries a sadistic army captain. She enters an unexpected fantasy world through an abandoned maze/labyrinth in the overgrown garden of her new home. Here she meets Pan, whose motives for befriending her are unclear. There are some good special effects and the writing/directing team's imagination is brilliant. Ultimately it is a tale of standing up for what you believe in and not being bullied by the big guys.
