Pan's Labyrinth
2006
In post–civil war Spain, 10-year-old Ofelia moves with her pregnant mother to live under the control of her cruel stepfather. Drawn into a mysterious labyrinth, she meets a faun who reveals that she may be a lost princess from an underground kingdom. To return to her true father, she must complete a series of surreal and perilous tasks that blur the line between reality and fantasy.

My notes
I believe this was the first time I've seen this since watching it on DVD in a third floor walkup in Lancaster, PA.
Nearly two decades later and with a much deeper understanding of influences, I enjoyed it even more.
I was a little disappointed by the color of the 4k UHD, so I might do a second watch on blu ray to unpack the story just a little more.
