Pan's Labyrinth
Guillermo Del Toro, Director
2006 | 119 min | Feature
Filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro audaciously melds childhood fantasy and harsh political reality to create an "utterly original, seamlessly effective exploration of power, corruption and resistance" (New York Times). It's 1944, and as the fascists consolidate power in Franco's Spain, Ofelia (Ivana Baquero), the 10-year-old step-daughter of a psychopathic army colonel (Sergei Lopez), discovers a hidden fantasy world. Winner of Oscars® for Cinematography, Art Direction and Makeup; nominated for Best Foreign Language Film and Original Screenplay.
