Pan's Labyrinth
I've now seen this movie two times. There's a lot to it. I'll probably watch it again with the director's commentary; there are 2 on the blu-ray.
PAN'S LABRYNTH is the story of a girl in a bad situation. She has an over active imagination to compensate for it. The movie covers here fantasy land, a lot of which is bizarre. Two of the scenes (frog and eye monster) are completely freaky. Meanwhile, in the real world, her sick mother is pregnant with a baby boy fathered by a sadistic Spanish captain. The captain is a hard-core bad guy. The war is over, and he's trying to clean up the remainders of the resistance.
Everyone's acting is phenomena. Pan's Labrynth is a work of freaky art.
