Pan’s Labyrinth, Guillermo Del Toro’s 2006 masterpiece, deconstructs the fairytale structure in a brilliant way. The film is very heavy on symbolism that emphasizes its points and during the ‘Pale Man’ sequence, we get one of the best examples of it.
In the scene, the Pale Man catches and eats the Faun’s fairies. The composition mirrors the classic Goya painting “Saturn Devouring His Son”, in which the Titan Kronus eats the Greek Gods, according to Greek Mythology.
