This movie was incredible. I like stories about the power of storytelling and the ability of imagination to take you to a different world (
see,
e.g. The Life of Pi), and Pan's Labyrinth brilliantly does this. The best part is that it only works, as it does here, when the storytelling is incredibly good. Not only that, but the cinematography and music in Pan's Labyrinth are equally memorable. My only regret is that more time wasn't spent on the fairytale aspect of the story, but it's a minor quibble. Go see this movie.
