An Academy Award winning dark fable set five years after the end of the Spanish Civil War, Pan s Labyrinth encapsulates the rich visual style and genre-defying craft of Guillermo del Toro (The Devil s Backbone, Cronos). Eleven-year-old Ofelia (Ivana Baquero, in a mature and tender performance) comes face to face with the horrors of fascism when she and her pregnant mother are uprooted to the countryside, where her new stepfather (Sergi López), a sadistic captain in General Franco s army, hunts down Republican guerrillas who refuse to give up the fight. The violent reality in which she lives merges seamlessly with a fantastical interior world when Ofelia meets a faun in a decaying labyrinth and is set on a strange, mythic journey that is at once terrifying and beautiful. In his revisiting of this bloody period in Spanish history, del Toro creates a vivid depiction of the monstrosities of war infiltrating a child s imagination and threatening the innocence of youth.brbrDIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESbr- Newly graded 2K digital master, supervised by director Guillermo del Toro, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrackbr- Alternate DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 surround soundtrackbr- Audio commentary by del Toro from 2007 br- New interview with del Toro by novelist Cornelia Funke about fairy tales, fantasy, and Pan s Labyrinth br- New interview with actor Doug Jones br- Four 2007 making-of documentaries, examining the characters, production, special effects, themes, and music of the film br- Interactive director s notebook br- Footage of actor Ivana Baquero s audition for the film br- Animated comics featuring prequel stories for the film s menagerie of creatures br- Programs comparing selected production storyboards and del Toro s thumbnail sketches with the final film; visual effects work for the Green Fairy; and elements of the film s score br- Trailers and TV spots br- PLUS: An essay by film critic Michael Atkinson

The pamphlet came ripped which was quite disappointing since I buy these to collect and would like all my films to be in excellent condition but, I understand it can happen and it was probably just bad luck. Otherwise great movie!
No duden en comprarla, la restauración de Criterion es una maravilla, hicieron un excelente trabajo en aspectos visuales y sonoros; esta edición contiene audio 7.1 (aparte del 5.1) el cual lamentablemente no puedo probar porque no tengo el equipo necesario para este, pero ya de por sí el 5.1 se escucha excelente. Quizá una empaque más elaborado para esta película hubiera venido bien, la caja es muy simple, pero se compensa con todo el contenido del disco. Como todas las Criterion cuenta con un pequeño booklet con información de esta restauración y algunas ilustraciones muy bonitas.
