I don't usually blog about the movies I see.. anyway I think that this one actually worth it.

In order to prepare myself for the DELE superior exam I'm watching a lot of Spanish movies.

I randomly went across Guillermo del Toro's "El laberinto del fauno" (Pan's Labyrinth).

I have to say that I usually don't like fantasy movies, actually I think I'm the only one who didn't liked The Lord of The Ring and Harry Potter series, but this one is pretty different in this genre.

It is not only a for children fantasy movie, but actually a smart mix of different genres such as thriller, drama, war.

The plot is really unexpected, actors performance is perfect and special effects adds good stuff to the mix.

I really recommend watching this movie. I've been lucky to watch it in the original language so I cannot guarantee that translated version have the same quality but I hope so.

Obviously, if you will watch it or already watched this movie I'm interested in hearing your opinion (just post a comment below).
