Last month, Senica and I had the opportunity to see the preview screening of Pan's Labyrinth downtown. It was such a heavy, hard place to go to, and so beautiful, and exhilarating to come through. Everyone in the theatre was blown away. Powerful.
Friday, at school, I discovered the movies web site, and I have been drawn back to it again, and again.
Javier Navarrete's sound track is haunting.
Guillermo Del Toro is sheer, generous, brilliant inspiration at its darkest with this film.
Pan's Labyrinth is a timeless, cross-dimension nightmare,
and the cathartic birth into that depth where nothing but essential beauty can touch you.
