Del Toro's Pans Layrinth, Zemekisis's Forrest Gump and the collective works of Terry Gilliam...all deal with similar themes but rarely deliver (for me) that personal connection to make it work emotionally as this does.<br /><br />I love the way Cuaron aligns colour with imagination. Patrick Doyle's score is understated, but soaring when it needs to be. And the scene where Sara, banished to the attic, dances in the snow as it poors through the window is as uplifting a scene as I've witnessed, perfectly summing up the themes in a single shot.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016513413981887140noreply@blogger.com
