A great oeniric film: Fears, metaphors and mysticism

Rating: 8/10 (7 January 2007)

Due the psychoanalytic components, and it metaphoric design of this move, this could give space but an enormous deals with profound universal fears of adults unresolved in the childhood. The film is dark as the nightmares of childhood. It depicts the capacity of children to invocate fantasy as only mechanism of control of reality.
Every character of the film has defined psychological features, which helps the audience to clearly understand the behaviour of each of them.
The historical and political elements included on it are well integrated.
Even thought this movie has unexpected levels of violence. It has conciliatory elements.
One criticism I would give is its translation of its name into English. A direct translation as "Faun's Labyrinth" could have represented a more substantial mysticism!
