I don’t care if you hate foreign films, I don’t care if you can’t stand subtitles, I don’t care if you abhor violence, if you have no idea what Franco’s Spain is, or if you think fairy tales are stupid. In fact, I don’t even care what year you’re reading this. If you haven’t seen Pan’s Labyrinth, you need to, right now. It’s one of those rarest of movies, the kind that completely fulfills the promise of the medium: story, acting, cinematography, music, setting — all fitting together perfectly, all creating something more than film.
Seriously. Just go see it.
