In "Pan's Labyrinth," Ofelia uses fairy tales as a coping mechanism against fascist Spain's harsh realities, allowing her imagination to challenge the oppressive world around her.

"When we started working on the film, we contacted him, but got few replies back. But when we finished it, he got involved... He's like Gandalf."

Guillermo del Toro expressed his dismay at the limited release of Clint Eastwood's latest film, 'Juror #2', emphasizing the positive audience response it received during its limited showing.

"The Criterion Collection presents each film as its maker would want it seen, turning them into the ultimate director's cut, loaded with extensive extra content."

Pacific Rim was the anti-blockbuster: its schlock and spectacle almost seemed like a means to an end for del Toro... it used its sci-fi conceit... to explore something that transcends words, the concept of soulmates.
