Fantastic Movie with Wonderful Detail and Imagination

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2007)

Pan's Labyrinth was a joy to watch. From beginning to end, the actors give incredible performances.
It reminded me of several short films however; which have been made in the past, specifically the part of placing the root under the bed that becomes a living "baby".
There is a short film on Sundance where the couple can't have a baby so they begin to feed a tree root. A little girl reads about this in a fairy tale book as the tree root baby becomes hungry for flesh. The root becomes a menace and begins to eat the neighbors. Not sure if there was any influence here.
I saw it in London, the theater quality and sound didn't do the film justice; so I will see it again. I thought it should have received some nominations for best film, because there is nothing out there like this piece of work. True Art!
