I think Mexico is bio-engineering an army of magical super-directors. I've had a crush on Alfonso Cuarón for a good handful of films now, but Guillermo del Toro has just won me over, making me think this is a full-fledged movement out of Mexico to change cinema as we know it.
Both directors have a tendency to avoid glorifying violence in a way I really like-- as opposed to the current trend of filmmaking which makes violence feel like something out of a video game. Watching both Children of Men and Pan's Labyrinth, the violence exists as a consequence, and one that has weight, and depth, and value.
Both films should be seen, but it's Pan's Labyrinth you really need to march over and watch, right now. I walked into the movie knowing only two things: it's a fairytale, and the entire film is in Spanish, with subtitles. I shall tell you nothing else, other than you are about to find one of your favorite films.
