I don't understand why this has not been mentioned here...it was quite easily my favorite movie of 2006. Not only is there a brilliant visual imagination at work, but there is a dark emotional resonance. And make no mistake, this is a very dark vision. Both stories, the Spanish civil war of the "real" world, and the child's fairy tale "fantasy" world, and unpredictable and compelling. But this fairy tale world is a pretty grim place. There are many connections to be made, and I would not say much more about that. Many good movies came out last year, but this one is, for me, above and beyond the others I saw.
