2006: Escape Into PAN'S LABYRINTH
Manage episode 324527326 series 2865408
Is "Pan's Labyrinth" director Guillermo del Toro's best movie?
In the years since its release in 2006, the Academy has embraced this director, awarding him Best Picture for "The Shape of Water" (2017) and nominating his "Nightmare Alley" in 2021. Although "Pan's" was only recognized with awards for its visuals (cinematography, art, makeup), the beauty here goes deeper than surface level.
In this episode, Mike and Brian discuss the movie's relationship with storytelling as a force for both creation and destruction, talk horror, trivia, then decide if the film belongs in the top five of the year.
