The movie is about a girl (Ivana Baquero) who is told by a faun that she is a princess and she must complete three tasks to return to her world. Amidst all this is a compelling family drama set against the backdrop of the Spanish civil war. In addition is recognizing Baquero's amazing performance, two other very notable performances in the film on Maribel Verdu playing the strong female rebel Mercedes, and Sergi Lopez playing the evil step-father.
The film is directed by Guillermo del Toro, (a.k.a my favorite director)
Pan's Labyrinth is well acted and the special effects are beautiful and it tells one of the most frightful and beautifully sad stories ever told. It gets a 10/10 for me based soley on it's shear freaking brilliance, seriously...this movie IS DA SHIT.
Also this next picture is just badass:
Also just for reference the movie's website is still active and is very fun to poke around on: Pan's Labyrinth Website
