Pan's Labyrinth (2006)
Movie
Released
Guillermo del Toro gives a girl's forbidden tasks the clarity of a fairy tale while adult violence makes the Spanish setting terrifyingly concrete. The Spanish-language fantasy takes place after the Civil War under Francoist repression. It is an absorbing entry point for fantasy fans, but cruelty to children and explicit violence make it firmly adult viewing.
