    Del Torro did the subtitles himself, he did them in such a way that after 2 minutes you litterally don't even realise you are reading them.
    Another interesting fact, the actor that played Pan learnt Panish to play the role.

    Just finished it there. Second time I’ve watched it and it’s as incredible as I remembered.

    Everything about it is just fantastic. The plot, the contrast between the brutal guerilla warfare and the fairytale (albeit the fairytale stuff is pretty fecking dark as well). Del Toro blends the supernatural and the real world to such an unbelievable degree. He did the same in The Devil’s Backbone, which is another excellent film.

    The actors are all perfectly cast, none more so than Ofelia. And Vidal is one of the best villains I’ve ever seen in a film. Absolute arsepiece.

    The last 30 minutes are just gut-wrenching. Was greeting at the end.

    10/10 - one of my favourite films.

    Edit: Oh, and that lullaby tune. Shivers.
