Synopsis
Guillermo del Toro’s work is a haunting and visually mesmerizing film that blends dark fantasy with historical drama.
Set in post-Civil War Spain in 1944, it follows Ofelia, who escapes into a mystical labyrinth to avoid the brutal reality of her world dominated by her sadistic stepfather, Captain Vidal, brilliantly played by Sergi López. In fact, I’ve rarely been as scared by a character in a film.
A great film that outlines human capacity for both cruelty and kindness. Come and see what all the fuss is about for yourself.
