GUILLERMO DEL TORO'S PAN'S LABYRINTH

DanaScully

or in Spanish "El Laberinto del Fauno".  








PAN'S LABYRINTH is a fanciful and chilling story set against the backdrop of a fascist regime in 1944 rural Spain. The film centers on Ofelia, a lonely and dreamy child living with her mother and adoptive father; a military officer tasked with ridding the area of rebels. In her loneliness, Ofelia creates a world filled with fantastical creatures and secret destinies. With post-war repression at its height, Ofelia must come to terms with her world through a fable of her own creation..

Guillermo del Toro is part of a wave of Mexican filmmakers that have made an indelible mark upon American cinema in recent years. Along with Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Alfonso Curan and Pedro Almodovar, del Toro has attained a remarkable level of critical and box office success in an environment not exactly conducive to international filmmaking. Unlike his compatriots, however, del Toro has steered away from making art house films about his native Mexico, and instead has focused on directing good old-fashioned horror movies.

Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, del Toro was struck by the horror genre at a very young age: he remembers being terrified at 2 years-old by the Mutant episode from the original sci-fi/horror series "The Outer Limits" (ABC, 1963-65). After seeing green ants on the walls and monsters in the closet, del Toro made a pact to devote his life to the monsters if they would let him into the bedroom without harm. Apparently the monsters agreed to terms and del Toro spent his formative years making monster movies with a Super-8 camera, action figures and a bottle of ketchup. Del Toro graduated to 16 and 35 mm shorts, and eventually attended Dick Smith抯 Advanced Makeup Course, where he learned the ins and outs of special effects makeup.

Del Toro spent a better part of the 1980's and early 1990's working as a special effects makeup artist, though he did get an early jump in filmmaking by producing "Dona Herlinda Y Su Hijo" (a.k.a. Dona Herlinda and Her Son, 1984). Del Toro broke away from Smith and formed his own company, the now-defunct Necropia, in the early 80's. Meanwhile, del Toro directed numerous episodes of Mexican television programs, including the horror anthology "Hora Marcada" (1986). Del Toro also taught film workshops and co-founded Film Studies Center and the Mexican Film Festival, both of which reside in his home city of Guadalajara. It was during this period, however, that del Toro began thinking about his first feature film.

...review pendek je.malas nak taip panjang2.

Bagi aku filem ni adalah filem 'masterpiece' Guillermo Del Toro. Cantuman elemen realiti dan 'dark fantasy' yang sangat baik, seangkatan dengan filem awalnya The Devil's Backbone. Walaupun aku anggap The Devil's Backbone hanya biasa-biasa saja, Pan's Labyrinth bertindak sebagai 'pelengkap' kepada tema filem itu(iaitu tentang dunia perspektif seorang kanak-kanak), dan juga sebagai persembahan sempurna 'jiwa artistik' atau trademark Del Toro: Dengan ton filemnya yang gelap, ganas, serta imaginasi yang unik dan 'grotesque'(tapi tidak terasa 'superficial' macam imaginasi Tim Burton). Walaupun sang protagonis adalah kanak-kanak dan plot utamanya berdasarkan 'fairy tale', tapi memang, filem ini untuk orang dewasa sahaja. Kalau budak-budak tengok mungkin akan ada 'nightmare' malam-malam(terutamanya 'child-eating monster' yang matanya kat tangan). Kesimpulannya filem ini adalah the definitive Del Toro movie. Dari filem genre horror Cronos, kepada filem Superhero. Cebisan-cebisan elemen dari filem-filem terdahulunya direncahkan dengan sempurna dalam Pan's Labyrinth.
