Pan's Labyrinth Poster
Pan's Labyrinth is about a girl called Ofelia (Baquero) who lives in Spain in the time of the civil war. She has to live with the fascist Captain Vidal (Lopez) who is her knew stepfather. She is confronted by a faun (Jones) who tells her if she does 3 tasks she can go to a magical place with her real father and mother. But there is a battle being fought between Captain Vidal and the Spanish resistance, And the Captain's servant- Mercedes (Verdu) - is more than she seems....

I have no idea why the film is called Pan's Labyrinth as the name Pan is not mentioned at all. The film is scary and heart warming at different times. I find the ending sad but other people find it happy. The film is like Inception as it makes you wander about the end.

*****Brilliant
