1. 8/10
2. Most memorable scene – The Lullaby. I think this scene encapsulates the abandonment and loneliness Ofelia feels having been separated from her mother, finding comfort in Mercedes, who acts as a maternal figure in the meantime. It stands out to me as they both are governed by Captain Vidal, a violent and unforgiving man that terrorizes them and essentially traps them.

3) Iconic image

The shallow depth of focus adds to the horrific nature of the film, and makes the ‘pale man’ appear even more inhumane and threatening. Additionally the fact that the shot is dimly lit adds to the dark and eery themes of the film.
