Wow!

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2007)

What starts of as an insight into young girls enchanting imagination takes you onto a visual, frightening, beautiful, sad and incredible journey? The overall tone is very dark and is represented with a lot of the film filmed through dark colored filters, combined with some of the more sinister characters you will see in this Spanish masterpiece. I've never seen anything quite like this and loved it entirely; I would actually go see it again. A surreal almost horror/fairy tale for adults who still like to believe in fairy tales. I have been enjoying this film maker's progress for many years and without question this is his finest work.
