PAN'S LABYRINTH; Carlisle's Final Word.

"You're getting older, and you'll see that life isn't like your fairy tales.
The world is a cruel place. And you'll learn that, even if it hurts."
Carmen, Pan's Labyrinth (2006).


Internal Logic: 2/2

Pace: 2/2

Acting: 2/2

Aesthetic: 2/2

Intention & Origionality: 2/2

Score: 10/10



Final Word: Both beautiful and haunting in equal measure, a must see film. Spanish and subtitled, but let that put you off and you're missing one of the best films ever made; part Schindler's List and part Chronicles of Narnia. Guillermo Del Toro's master piece, and a far superior film to it's spiritual-kindred The Devil's Bcakbone. I could go on (and on), but I wouldn't want to undermine it by overhyping- the less you know the better the experiance. Go see it.
