In retrospect, this behavior hints at something much deeper than bitterness, but Patrick Marber’s (“Closer?...
...tales with a harsh narrative set in Civil War-era Spain. Del Toro skews reality, beauty, and monstrosity, allowing normally pretty objects to become eerie and grotesque—but no less enchanting. In this hybrid world, a young girl named Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) encounters fairies disguised as giant stick bugs, a mysterious Faun (Doug Jones), something called the “Pale Man” (Doug Jones)—a child-eating monster with eye-sockets in his hands—and, most terrifying of all, a fascist, sadistic stepfather named Capitán Vidal (Sergi...
