Guillermo del Toro‘s “Pan’s Labyrinth” hasn’t lost any of its power to dazzle the Cannes Film Festival over the last two decades. The fantasy movie world premiered in competition at the 2006 festival, where it earned instant acclaim and was met with a still-record holding 22-minute standing ovation. Del Toro returned to Cannes this year to debut a new 4K restoration of the movie, and the film was once again met with enthusiasm, with the Mexican auteur receiving several minutes of applause as he took the stage.
