Yes classic movies can be made in 2006

Rating: 10/10 (27 February 2007)

Absolutely magical in every sense. Cliché expressions like words don't do justice fit perfectly to this film. Del Toro gives us the perfect marriage of real and surreal, complimented by amazing visual effects and makeup, breathtaking music, seamless flow of the storyline and of course the brilliant performances of all leads, but especially Ivana Baquero as Ofelia and Sergi Lopez as Capitan Vidal.
It doesn't really matter that this masterpiece, Best Picture of 2006 by far didn't get even Best Foreign Movie from the Academy, because awards are not what matters. What matters is the millions of enchanted cinema goers who will always have this piece of gold in their top ten lists.
