El Laberinto Del Fauno

Or, Pan's Labyrinth. A film that I have mentioned a few times here, here and here.

A DVD screener leaked onto the usual pirate sites - and being the weak willed man that I am...I took full advantage, and hot damn am I ever glad that I did!!

*stands and applauds Guillermo del Toro*

Bravo!

Easily Guillermo's best film to date, and dare I say the pinnacle of his career!

The story was beautifully tragic, a wondrous fairy tale that frightens as well as inspires. Slow at times, but Guillermo peppered the entire story with these intense scenes of amazing fantastical elements that makes the whole thing worth watching. Especially (without giving away any serious spoilers) the feast scene.

This is what movies are about - this is what cinema can accomplish - this is exactly the film I had been hoping for ever since I heard of it way back when.

Cant wait to see it on the big screen.

Fairy good chocolates...

Very cool... Froud does chocolate?

Now tell me you dont wanna try...

Heres a linky.

To see her was to feast.

She lived below.

Below where the sounds drip...and an echo can go on for eternity.

But today was different. Today she climbed the hills...followed the streams and danced under the stars.
The moonlight bathed her beauty in its soft glow, and in a whispers soft moment innocense was reborn.

To see her was to feast, to be there with her was to drown, engulfed in her blanket of calm and devoured by her spirit.

Tonite a Faerie is born, tonite hope is restored...and in time, there shall be peace.
