Guillermo del Toro's cult masterpiece, Pan's Labyrinth (2006), won
a total of 76 awards and is one of the most commercially successful
Spanish-language films ever made. Blending the world of monstrous
fairytales with the actual horrors of post-Civil War Spain, the
film's commingling of real and fantasy worlds speaks profoundly to
our times. Immersing herself in the nightmarish world that del Toro
has so minutely orchestrated, Mar Diestro-Dopido explores the
cultural and historical contexts surrounding the film. Examining
del Toro's ground-breaking use of mythology, and how the film
addresses ideas of memory and forgetting, she highlights the
techniques, themes and cultural references that combine in Pan's
Labyrinth to spawn an uncontainable plurality of meanings, which
only multiply on contact with the viewer. This special edition
features an exclusive interview with del Toro and original cover
artwork by Santiago Caruso.
