The Official Submission of Mexico for the 2007 Academy Awards!
Award-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro delivers a unique, richly imagined epic with PAN'S LABYRINTH, a gothic fairy tale set against the postwar repression of Franco's Spain. Del Toro's sixth and most ambitious film, PAN'S LABYRINTH combines the historic and moral themes of his acclaimed Spanish Civil War ghost story The Devil's Backbone with the protean visual creativity and gripping dynamics of such previous films as Hellboy and Blade II. Harnessing the formal characteristics of classic folklore to a 20th century landscape, del Toro delivers a timeless tale of good and evil, bravery and sacrifice, love and loss.
PAN'S LABYRINTH unfolds through the eyes of Ofelia, a dreamy little girl who is uprooted to a rural military outpost commanded by her new stepfather. Powerless and lonely in a place of unfathomable cruelty, Ofelia lives out her own dark fable as she confronts monsters both otherworldly and human. As Ofelia, the gifted young Spanish actress Ivana Baquero holds the screen with a remarkable combination of innocence and maturity, vulnerability and strength. Baquero is joined by a superb cast that includes international stars Sergí Lopez (Dirty Pretty Things), Maribel Verdú (Y Tu Mamá También) and Ariadna Gil (Belle Époque), as well as frequent del Toro collaborator Doug Jones (Hellboy).
The music of PAN'S LABYRINTH is written by Spanish composer, Javier Navarrete. The music encompasses the fantastical mood of the film - a fairy tale fantasy for adults, set against the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War. The music captures the tension and imagination of this rich, layered film.
