Guillermo del Toro casts a mesmerizing spell in this beautifully understated ghost tale set in a crumbling orphanage at the height of the Spanish Civil War. A mature work of poetic allegory, The Devil’s Backbone explores a child’s unerring perspective on war and loneliness and offers an evocative companion piece to del Toro’s recent breakthrough film Pan’s Labyrinth.
