THE SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE
August 8th, 2010
THE SPIRIT OF THE BEHIVE- 1973. Premise by Netflix. “In this mesmerizing allegorical tale set in post-Civil War Spain, precocious young Ana (Ana Torrent) becomes obsessed with finding the spirit of Frankenstein’s monster after watching director James Whale’s 1931 classic. When she happens upon a wounded military deserter, Ana believes that she’s evoked the cinematic creature. Helmed by Victor Erice, the film also stars Fernando Fernan Gomez and Teresa Gimpera as Ana’s disengaged parents.”
8/10- Great reviews but I had trouble getting into the film. The child actress Ana Torrent is special. TRDB.
