El laberinto del fauno
Director: Guillermo del Toro
Cast: Ivana Baquero, Ariadna Gil, Maribel Verdú, Sergi López
Plot outline: Ofelia and her mother hide from the fascist government of Spain when Ofelia is led to a mysterious labyrinth by a fairy. There she meets a faun who gives her three tasks to complete before the full moon rises. Meanwhile, she has to hide her endeavours from her mother's husband, the strict capitán Vidal.
While this movie is surely intended for adults, it has an element of childisness which has nothing to do with the main character being a child. Instead, i think it is a result of the black-and-white description of the characters; either you are good, or you are bad. In reality, this is hardly ever the case. Me being a fan of the fantasy genre, howver, this didn't bother me all that much, and the movie reminded me very strongly of the Narnia chronicles. If you like them, you'll like this.
