TS Episode Page: Fantasy In Historical Context

Nothing is better than a great work of fiction positions itself into an even richer, more dynamic historical context. Pan’s Labyrinth, the 2006 dark fantasy film by Guillermo del Toro, is tactfully positioned in the historical context of the Spanish Civil War. The line between fantasy and reality is tread by the characters in this film as they deal with the tyranny and oppression of reality’s current regime, and the fantastical unknown of the underworld.
