“Pan’s Labyrinth”

I was thinking today that I hadn’t seen any reviews by Barbara Nicolosi for a long time. Her blog has had few posts since her Houston visit. Well, she’s back with a vengeance, and her target is “Pan’s Labyrinth.” I was especially interested in how she would react to this film, given her work on another Spanish Civil War project. This one is definitely taking an opposite approach to hers. It’s part pseudo-history and part fantasy, in a world where the Spanish Republicans were like the Jedi Knights and the Catholics were the agents of the Dark Lord, Franco. And Hollywood cheers on the return of the Jedi (as we saw in the streets of DC this weekend).
