The Spirit of the Beehive

“This is my final pick. It’s The Spirit of the Beehive, which is both a great band and film. This young, six-year-old actress, that, yeah, has these eyes that looks like it’s seen maybe 40 different lifetimes. They just have such great depth. And her Performance is stunning. It’s a beautiful, haunting film, and I can’t wait to revisit it because I remember loving it so much. And yeah, I’m excited to add it to my collection.”

“Spirit of the Beehive is something special. The interesting thing about this film for me is that I have never owned a copy of it. It has only existed in my head, very much like it used to be in the past before home video. You could not keep a film, you could only keep a film in your head, the memory of it.”

“This one was called The Spirit of the Beehive by Victor Erice, Spanish filmmaker. He hasn't done a lot of films but I love all of them.”

“This is spectacular it's yeah this Spirit of the Beehive I saw this for film school I don't remember what happens in it but I remember feeling so caught up in this girl's world I remember feeling like the film matched the world and that's really rare they're like the pace of the film and the unfolding of her narrative matched childhood in a way.”
