Pan's Labryrinth
What a remarkably good film.
We all know that Spanish-speaking film-makers have a habit of being brilliant, because Pedro Almodóvar keeps on demonstrating the fact.
Pan's Labryrinth isn't one of Almodóvar's though. It's a 'gothic fairy tale' set in Spain during Franco's rise to power. And it's fabulous.
Guillermo del Toro has made a couple of films in the past already. More than a couple in fact. However I hadn't come across the Mexican's name before.
I'll remember it now.
