Two Line Reviews - #93

El laberinto del fauno or Pan's Labyrinth(2006,Spanish)
Claps:
  • A fabulous film on a fairy tale & a civil war set in the milieu of a fascinating forest with some wonderfully conceived scenes(the climax being one such scene).
  • The locations,music & terrific cinematography - The camera doesn't remain stationary even for about 10% of the film. The style of making is a definite source of inspiration for films like Raavanan made in this style.
  • The cute & beautiful girl who plays Ofelia - She emotes wonderfully well & the role of the villanous army captain.
Blips:
  • The initial focus on fairies shifts to the civil war & the fairies' fable keeps coming and going at will.

 Overall Score: 9.5/10
