Criterion Collection # 351

http://www.criterion.com/films/367

Release Date: September 19, 2006


Director: Victor Erice

Description: Criterion is proud to present Victor Erice's spellbinding The Spirit of the Beehive (El espiritu de la colmena), widely regarded as the greatest Spanish film of the 1970s. In a small Castilian village in 1940, in the wake of the country's devastating civil war, six-year-old Ana attends a traveling movie show of Frankenstein and becomes possessed by the memory of it. Produced as Franco's long regime was nearing its end, The Spirit of the Beehive is a bewitching portrait of a child's haunted inner life and one of the most visually arresting movies ever made.

The Spirit of the Beehive: Spanish Lessons
by Paul Julian Smith Sep 18, 2006
Released in 1973, in the dying days of General Franco's forty-year dictatorship, The Spirit of the Beehive soon established itself as the consummate masterpiece of Spanish cinema.
