El laberinto del fauno / Pan's Labyrinth
(Mexico, 2007, 112 minutes, dir. Guillermo del Toro, rated R)

A runaway winner for best cinematography, art direction, special effects at the Ariel Awards (Mexico's highest film honors), Pan's Labyrinth is one of many excellent films by Mexican directors released last year. This haunting fantasy-drama set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War details the journeys of an imaginative girl who may be the mythical princess of an underground kingdom—and who uses this fantasy world to deal with real post-war Fascist repression. Writes Rolling Stone's Peter Travers: "You leave del Toro's one-of-a-kind film feeling you've never seen the world before, not like this, not with such aching beauty and terror…obliterating barriers of time, place, genre and language."
