International Film: El Laberinto del Fauno
(Pan’s Labyrinth)
12.00 - 14.00 in Tuke Cinema
Mexican filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro returns to the
phantasmagorical cinema that defined such early fare as
Cronos and The Devil's Backbone with this
haunting fantasy-drama set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil
War and detailing the strange journeys of an imaginative young girl
who may be the mythical princess of an underground kingdom. Her
mother, Carmen (Ariadna Gil), recently remarried to sadistic army
captain Vidal (Sergi López) and soon to bear the cruel military
man's child, shy young Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) is forced to
entertain herself as her recently-formed family settles into their
new home nestled deep in the Spanish countryside. Convinced by Pan
that she is the lost princess of legend and that in order to return
to her underground home she must complete a trio of
life-threatening tasks, Ofelia sets out to reclaim her kingdom and
return to her grieving father as Vidal's housekeeper Mercedes
(Maribel Verdú) and doctor (Alex Angulo) plot secretly on the
surface to keep the revolution alive. (Spanish with English

"Going on an SPA is a great experience in itself, but it becomes even more exciting when you get the chance to go to a bigger, completely different institution and learn to enjoy a university as interpreted by another culture. Being an Erasmus student in the Università Cattolica di Milano is not only a unique opportunity to blend into a huge student community but also the chance to live in one of the most fascinating cities of the world."
