Review: Pan’s Labrynth

Pan's Labyrinth Movie Poster

Mark’s Rat­ing: 4 out of 5

A dark, bru­tal and depress­ing movie that touches the heart. Pan’s Labyrinth was imported form Span­ish (orig­i­nal title: El laber­into del fauno) and is a mod­ern fairy tale. Don’t let that fairy tale descrip­tion fool you, this is no film for young chil­dren. The set­ting is some­where in the coun­try­side of Spain, 1944. Ofe­lia is a young child who dreams of fairies as she goes with her preg­nant mother to meet her new step­fa­ther. Her step­fa­ther is a ruth­less cap­tain in the Span­ish army who works to put some a rebel­lion in the region.
