Our choice for the one Amazon Prime Video movie that you have to watch in November is a powerful blend of a war drama and a fantasy.
Guillermo del Toro is one of the best filmmakers of his generation, and he’ll probably go down as the only Best Director winner at the Oscars to take home that award and Best Picture for a love story between a woman and an amphibious male. That movie was The Shape of Water, in case you were wondering. Del Toro loves making fantasy and horror movies, and he’s made several, including Hellboy, Crimson Peak, and even Blade II.
Recommended Videos It’s del Toro’s passion project Del Toro developed Pan’s Labyrinth over the course of two decades and personally designed the creatures in notebooks that he carried around the world. His vivid sense of imagination paid off in the finished film, with visually arresting and inventive creatures, including the Faun and the hideous Pale Man, both of whom were portrayed by Star Trek: Discovery‘s Doug Jones.
The actors deliver powerful performances Ivana Baquero was 11-years old when she played the film’s main character, Ofelia, a young girl who feels adrift when her pregnant mother, Carmen , marries a monster of a man, Captain Vidal . One of the strengths of this movie is that the dramatic side of the story is still interesting without the fantasy elements. And Baquero was completely convincing in her role.
Maribel Verdú was impressive as Mercedes, the film’s secondary protagonist who acts as a spy against Vidal’s forces. Besides Carmen, Mercedes is the only one who truly loves Ofelia and wants to save her. Finally, we’d be remiss if Jones wasn’t given his flowers for his wonderfully otherworldly performances as the Faun and the Pale Man. In full prophetic makeup, Jones truly looks like he stepped out of a dark fairy tale.
