The Spirit of the Beehive
EL ESPIRITU DE LA COLMENA
Spain
| 1973 | Victor Erice
This haunting film focuses on two young girls living in a rural village in 1940 Franco Spain, at the end of the Spanish Civil War. One of the children (the extraordinary Ana Torrent, then 8) escapes the repressed atmosphere at home via private reveries and fantasies inspired by the movie Frankenstein, which she has just seen.
Dr. Linda Ehrlich, CWRU associate professor and author of the book An Open Window: The Cinema of Victor Erice, will introduce the film and lead a post-film discussion. Subtitles. 35mm. 98 min.
