El Espiritu de la colmena [The Spirit of the Beehive] (Spain, Victor Erice, 1973). Made during Franco’s dictatorship, this film follows the inner life and outer circumstances of six-year-old Ana. Her world is infused with the devastation of the brutal Spanish civil war, while her imaginary life is saturated with images of the 1931 movie Frankenstein. The horrible but misunderstood monster becomes a powerful metaphor for Spain’s lost innocence. (In Spanish with English subtitles)
