Pan's Labyrinth

Totally awesome movie.

Yesterday, I was dragged out to see this Spanish film about a young girl who is actually a princess of the Underworld. Ok, so I had been wanting to see it, so it didn't take Brett much to talk me into going.

Pan's Labyrinth was absolutely beautiful. It was dark and haunting, set against the backdrop of WWII. I love movies like this; it was truly a movie for adults, a fairy tale pressed into a war story. It was brutally graphic at times, and I could never imagine showing this film to any child (NIGHTMARES).

It's playing down at Shattuck Cinemas in Berkeley. I recommend it for most people. I know that it's going to stick with me for a long time.
