Ivana Baquero puts in one of the best kids performances in a film in recent memory as Ofelia in Pan’s Labyrinth. I still remember seeing this for the first time at Fantastic Fest and the first time I saw it at Sitges. This is one of those timeless films that never ages and only gets better.

As far as images from fantasy films go, it gets no better than this. I think this sequence in the film Pan’s Labyrinth (El Laberinto del fauno) in particular is way up there as one of the best film sequences in cinema history.

This is my favorite behind the scenes image that I’ve seen to date from Pan’s Labyrinth. Both director and lead actress lost in thought.

An absolutely haunting image of Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) in “Pan’s Labyrinth.” I recently saw Ivana Baquero on hand at The Orphanage premiere at the recent 40th Sitges Film Festival wishing its director J.A. Bayona a great screening.

Ofelia in “Pan’s Labyrinth.” Even the lighting behind here seems to hint at the recurring theme of Pan’s face throughout the film.
