The film centers around the story of a young girl who moves with her mother into the home of her mother's new husband. It's not all roses since it takes place during WWII and the new husband is a domineering, mean-spirited fascist. While the film also focuses on the political strife between communism and fascism, most of the film centers on the young girls experiences in the labyrinth and how it affects real life.
The one thing about the film that I was not expecting was how violently graphic the movie is. Not only is it a dark fairy-tale kind of film, but the director goes out of his way to make all the different forms of conflict in the film equally blood. My best guess is that he wanted to use that draw comparison lines between psychological/non-realistic strife felt in the labyrinth vs. the real conflict in the real world.
Much like Science of Sleep, this film stands out for its art direction. The plot is well thought out and the characters are performed professionally, but nothing bout the film will out-shine its original style and beauty.
