In Castile c.1940, a travelling movie theatre brings James Whale’s b/w film classic “Frankenstein” (1931) to a village. (Admission 1 peseta for adults, 2 reales for children.) Two young girls, Isabel and Ana, determine to find the Monster.
“El espíritu de la colmena” is a powerful movie that uses many metaphors (such as Ana for the young, innocent generation of Spain) to question the interpretation of reality. It is a powerful, artistically made movie that captivates the viewer through images rather than words. It should be seen more than once in order to understand all it’s hidden messages.
