Guillermo del Toro's beautiful and bloody Pan's Labyrinth, a fantasy adventure/political drama, is the focus of the ninth episode of a film criticism playlist. The narrator looks at the film through two interpretative lenses: as a story of a young girl who creates a fantasy world to escape the realities of her life, and as a film that shines a harsh light on the monstrous behavior of man.
