Young/Frankenstein..
When was the last time a movie made you swoon, I mean physically? I waited around 30 years to view this quiet, contemplative film touching on an excursion into a child’s mind and a portrait of innocence not yet seen or experienced, by me anyway. After finally importing a copy, it was worth waiting all that time and a textbook example of one of those quite rare instances when you realize that yes, cinema can be magic and transcendent. I’m not going to throw words around like ‘masterpiece’ and the like with this film as that would somehow seem vulgar. What it deserves is a quiet respect, which I felt also emanating strongly from the film itself. Not a lot happens. In a small Castilian outpost, James Whale’s Frankenstein is shown for the populace. From an austere homefront, two young girls navigate sweeping beige and brown plains and share a discovery. One forms a spiritual connection which will remain with her always. Fragile, slow and haunting, Spirit Of The Beehive is about many things, you just have to construe it on your own personal level. And believe….

A little girl is disturbed after a traveling projectionist screens a print of James Whale’s “Frankenstein”
Sensational film that dispenses a thought-provoking plot and considered to be one of the best Spanish films , in fact was voted third best Spaniard film by professionals and critics in 1996 Spanish cinema centenary . It deals with a rural Spain soon after Franco’s victory , wasteland of inactivity and poorness . It’s 1940 in a small, stark Castillian village , there a sensitive seven-year-old girl named Ana (Ana Torrent) , her sister Isabel (Isabel Telleria) along with their parents (Fernando Fernan Gomez , Teresa Gimpera) are living a small village in 1940 rural Spain . The father gets relief by the industriousness of bees in their hives . Ana then is traumatized after viewing James Wale’s 1931 “Frankenstein” and drifts into her own fantasy world . The movie leaves a lasting impression on seven year old Ana and she is heavily traumatized . The fragile , single little Anna dreams of meeting the monster and befriends a fugitive man just before he is chased .

Sensitive film full of feeling , haunting mood-pieces , wonderful images and sense of wonder . This extraordinary flick spells through intricate patterns of frames , sets , sound and color . Interesting screenplay by the same director Erice based on a story by Angel Fernandez Santos . Luxurious photography by magnificent cameraman Luis Cuadrado helped by another excellent cinematographer , Teo Escamilla , Cuadrado was going blind at the time this film was made , he eventually went completely blind and committed suicide in 1980 . Moving and emotive musical score by Luis De Pablo . Good and evocative art direction by subsequently filmmaker Jaime Chavarri , showing faithfully rural scenarios , as the deserted building next to the well was actually an abandoned sheep-shed , being filmed on location in Hoyuelos, Segovia, Castilla y León and Parla, Madrid . The motion picture well produced by notorious producer Elias Querejeta was stunningly directed by Victor Erice , nicknamed the Spanish Terence Malick . He filmed a total of exactly 1000 shots in the film , exactly 500 are inside, and 500 are outside ; there is no shot of all the family in a single frame in the entire film : even in the dinner-table scene, the actors are shown separately . Erice has made only two films more , the generally well regarded ¨El Sur¨ , ¨El sol del Membrillo¨ and some Shorts too . This touching picture will appeal to Spanish films buffs . Rating : Top-notch and outstanding movie , worthwhile seeing .
