Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth is an engrossing combination of fantasy and historical drama that unfolds during post-Civil War Spain. It follows a young girl running away to a mythical world where the trials she had in that place are nothing but reflections of reality about life under a fascist regime. It brings fairy tale elements beautifully intertwined with stark political allegory and captures the innocence of childhood against the backdrop of war.
