Another view from Guillermo del Toro...

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2015)

"Pan's Labyrinth" is a fantasy movie which is combined really good with some historical events. In this movie we are in the falangist Spain of 1944 and we watch all the bad things that happened in that time in Spain from the eyes of a bookish young stepdaughter of a sadistic army officer. We also watch how difficult was the situation in those times and of course the war between the two sides.
I liked this movie very much because of the plot which I found exceptional and of course because of the direction which had been made by Guillermo del Toro and for one more time was simply outstanding. I also liked the interpretation of the young Ivana Baquero who played as Ofelia and she was really good at it. I have to mention one more interpretation which I believe was really good and that is Sergi López who played as Vidal.
Finally I have to say that "Pan's Labyrinth" was a nice surprise for me because when I saw the trailer and read the storyline I was a little bit cautious about it. But fortunately it was really great movie and it worth-ed all of the minutes that I spend on it. I strongly recommended it to everyone.
