Directed by: Guillermo del Toro
An Academy Award–winning dark fable set five years after the end of the Spanish Civil War, Pan’s Labyrinth encapsulates the rich visual style and genre-defying craft of Guillermo del Toro. Eleven-year-old Ofelia (Ivana Baquero, in a mature and tender performance) comes face to face with the horrors of fascism when she and her pregnant mother are uprooted to the countryside, where her new stepfather (Sergi López), a sadistic captain in General Franco’s army, hunts down Republican guerrillas who refuse to give up the fight. The violent reality in which she lives merges seamlessly with a fantastical interior world when Ofelia meets a faun in a decaying labyrinth and is set on a strange, mythic journey that is at once terrifying and beautiful. In his revisiting of this bloody period in Spanish history, del Toro creates a vivid depiction of the monstrosities of war infiltrating a child’s imagination and threatening the innocence of youth.

Release Notes on Restoration
Pan's Labyrinth
Pan’s Labyrinth is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Black bars at the top and bottom of the screen are normal for this format. For its theatrical release, the film was completed in a 2K digital intermediate finishing process from the 35mm original camera negative. That digital intermediate provided the highest level of faithfulness to director Guillermo del Toro’s original vision. For this release, further color changes were made throughout the feature to fully realize that vision. The film features a fully digital soundtrack. The surround audio for this release was remastered from the original digital audio master files using Pro Tools HD.
