Pan's Labyrinth is Guillermo Del Toro's masterwork. It tells a macabre Alice in Wonderland type story, framed against a tragic WWII setting. The film features a host of creative and dark visuals and succeeds on both the adventure and thriller fronts. More importantly, though, Del Toro shows great emotional depth in directing the more human elements of the story that collide with the created fantasy realm.
