PAN'S LABYRINTH In Franco's Spain, where Resistance fighters roam the woods, a sadistic officer (Sergi Lopez) is determined to wipe them out. He has brought along his new family: his pregnant wife (Ariadne Gil) and her 11-year-old daughter Ofelia (Ivana Baquero). The girl tries to escape these harsh realities by fleeing to a sylvan labyrinth — a woodland wonderland — where she is enthralled and tested by fauns, fairies, giant toads and a pale man with eyes in the palms of his hands. But the real wonder is that director Guillermo del Toro has so artfully blended these separate and conflicting milieus into a film that's both a nightmare of terror and a fairy tale about the restoration of family unity.
