El Laberinto del Fauno
Guillermo del Toro's newest film, which was nominated for six Oscars, reminded me a lot of Narnia. Fantasy mixed with WWI. A child's war mixed with an adult world - though they're completely different, somehow they correspond.
The film was odd because of the two levels of the film, but I think this was effective. What kind of film is it? Certainly not a child's movie, certainly not a normal fantasy, and certainly not history. It's rather a mix of all three. One review I read referred to it as dark poetry. Very violent, yet still beautiful.
The special effects were phenomenal. Some of the monsters and animals were incredibly real looking. The acting was also good. Ivana Baquero plays Ofelia, and the role is very well done.
7/10
