Just saw Pan's Labyrinth (2006) by director Guillermo del Toro. It is a drama/fantasy set in Spain 1944 just after the end of the Spanish Civil War. It's a story about an 11 year old girl who uses fantasy to help her cope with the violent world around her. She has come with her pregnant mother to a government outpost, which is fighting against rebel remnants in the hills, because the Captain of the outpost is the father of the baby. This is a spectacularly filmed movie with parallel storylines which weave in and out of each other seamlessly, and which has very fine acting all around. It's rated R for violence and is not for children, and is in Spanish with English subtitiles. The subtitles were easy to read, and I don't think they detracted from the film experience. Worth seeing on the big screen, but is in limited release right now.

I would say the film is anti-fascist without being explicitly political, but that may be simply because the fascists have the upper hand. If the other side had won, there is a suggestion there would have been the same brutality in reverse because that's what war brings out on both sides.
