Pan's Labyrinth - Rewatched this because of The Shape of Water. This movie plays in the 1940s in spain after the civil war. Our main character is a little girl named Ofelia whose mother wed the military captain Vidal. She and her pregnant mother arrive at Vidal's current location and the story begins. Ofelia likes to read fairytales and during her stay at the new place magical things happen around her. The story around Vidal who hunts down rebels is the b-plot. What can i say, imo this is definitely superior to The Shape of Water. From a technical point of view the new movie has the edge cgi wise, but Pan's Labyrinth still looks amazing, the art/creature design is fabulous, the cinematography on point. More importantly though, the story is more mature, more fantastic, gives you more room to interprete it and the characters feel more real as well. The side plot in this movie is a lot more interesting, in general it focuses on these two main storylines while The Shape of Water adds a little bit too much noise in other places. Pan's Labyrinth is a dark (i have to stress this, it's definitely a fairytale for adults), magical experience and del toro's best work to date. 9+/10

Only film I saw was the Russian film Loveless which was one of the 'best foreign film' nominees for the Oscars (didn't win). The director, Andrey Zvyagintsev, had made one of the great debut films ever with The Return some years back - and while his films are always worthwhile as scathing reflections of modern Russia, none of his subsequent films have been quite as great as The Return IMO. This film starts with an unloved child of bitterly separating parents running away, with the meat of it being the 'process' by which a search is undertaken for him when he doesn't return home and the lives the parents are making for themselves with new partners. I have to say - this is one of those films where the boy in question makes such a strong first impression, I never fully engaged with the story of the parents, which is the actual focus of the film. TBH - would have preferred a film about the kid, though I appreciated what the director was trying to do. I think it IS a worthwhile theme that many people sadly project their negative feelings towards the co-parent of their child on the child and how this blinds them towards the humanity and inherent value of their children as human beings.

Have fun and play nice!
