El Laberinto del Fauno

Also known as Pan's Labyrinth, caught this movie last week after seeing the new bond.  For opening night being in a 120 seater in Cineworld Glasgow tells me that there is not much press behind this movie.  The cinema hall was about 3/4 full.

I think this is the best movie of 2006, still not released in USA, probably why this release has been fairly quite.  Get to the cinema and see this.

Pans Labyrinth is set in the fascist regime of rural Spain in 1944.  Centering on the main character Ofeila, her Family are uprooted to a military outpost, with her Stepfather a captain of the army tasked of ridding the area of rebels.  Seeking escape form the world she is living in she is drawn into a fantasy world as dangerous as the one she wants to leave behind.

I am normally put of by movies that are subtitled as I tend to focus too much on reading, I was fine after a few minutes.
