I love talking about Spanish-language films and you can find evidence of that in the latest episode of The @cinehistorians.bsky.social Podcast. The subject: Victor Erice's The Spirit of the Beehive/El espirito de la colmena (1973)

Did you know that Victor Erice was hired to make a big budget Spanish-language adaptation of Frankenstein?

When the funding fell through, he proposed the story of 🐝The Spirit of the Beehive (1973).
