I've wanted to see this one for quite some time, and had pretty much resigned myself to 'Movie Zone'-ing it. Apparently it is a post-Spanish civil war fairy tale about a young girl who, discontented with her tumultuous family life, discovers a magical world populated by mythical creatures in her backyard. Despite that seemingly innocent description, life in this mythical world can be nasty, brutish, and short - fantasy is no escape from reality, even in the movies. This film is a work of art with an original theme and is highly recommended, but [as with many SFC films] it is dark and upsetting.

The film starts at 8:15PM, but come early to see an interview with the director - and to get a good seat, as i suspect this will be a popular one.

Feel free to check out some reviews.
