El laberinto del fauno, also called 'The Pan's Labyrinth', is a Mexican fantasy-thriller-drama genre movie and is my most favorite Spanish movie. The story is centred around a little girl Ofelia who is so fond of fairy tales. She, along with her pregnant mother is brought to a forest by her arrogant stepfather Captain Vidal. War against anarchists is going on in the forest, but Vidal wants his baby to be born where he is. Ofelia finds an abandoned labyrinth in that forest and meets a lot of fairy tale characters there. She becomes involved in the fairy world and the story develops to bringing down of the political anarchy and the end of civil war.
This movie has remarkable excellence in the technical and graphical perfection. The fairy tale world is beautifully incorporated into the political topic of Spanish civil war. It's full of thrill from beginning to end. A must-watch movie.
