Spain





SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE-1973-In a small village in Spain in 1940, the residents there watch James Whale's 1931 version of Frankenstein. A little girl named Ana (Ana Torrent) becomes intrigued with the monster after her sister tells her the monster didn't die at the end of the movie and now lives in an abandoned house near them. Later Ann helps a wounded soldier who dies out there. After his she runs away. The whole village searches for her. Eventually at the riverside she meets the monster. This was the feature film debut for the director Victor Erice and is held in high regard in his home country of Spain where it was filmed.

Thanks for reading!
