From the film "Pan's Labyrinth"
Re: film and tv
A strange movie that did not know if it was a fantasy story for children, or a brutal condemnation of Franco's fascism.

Guillermo del Toro on Pan's Labyrinth:

"I was trying to uncover a common thread between the 'real world' and the 'imaginary world', which I found in one of the seminal bloodlines within fairytales: the bloodline of choice. It's something that has intrigued me since Cronos, through Hellboy, and now to Pan's Labyrinth: the way your choices define you. And I thought it would be great to counterpoint an institutional lack of choice, which is fascism, with the chance to choose which the girl takes in this movie."

Re: film and tv
I don't think he pulled it off. For me it came across as an example of how one engages in flights of fantasy in order to avoid a painful reality (and how the two sometimes blur). Not that it was a bad movie though. Quite the opposite.arch wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2018 11:40 pm Guillermo del Toro on Pan's Labyrinth:

To continue in the anti-Fascist spirit... I just finished watching this one:

"Oceana Roll"
Re: film and tv
Saw 'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri' today. Superb performances all round and a darkly humorous script. Frances McDormand is wonderful. Her best since 'Fargo'.

Re: film and tv
Lost a coin flip with my daughter when she was here a month ago whether to see Billboards or Ladybird. She won so we saw Ladybird, and recommend it highly. Also Saw Sean Baker's "Florida Project" last year (see his short film "Snowbird" above) which was wonderful. Brooklynn Prince as Moonee was amazing, and I have always enjoyed watching Willem Dafoe in anything.
