Has anyone here had the chance to see this Spanish film made by Guillermo Del Toro? It sounds interesting and the few screens I have seen of it look gob-smacking gorgeous. It has garnered generally glowing reviews and is being considered one of the best fantasy films of recent times. I'm quite eager to see it.

Link to IMDB's page on Pan's Labyrinth

Plot Summary from IMDB:
"Pan's Labyrinth" is the story of a young girl that travels with her mother and adoptive father to a rural area up North in Spain, 1944. After Franco´s victory. The girl lives in an imaginary world of her own creation and faces the real world with much chagrin. Post-war Fascist repression is at its height in rural Spain and the girl must come to terms with that through a fable of her own.
