Review
In the austere aftermath of the Spanish Civil War young Anna sees "Frankenstein" at a travelling cinema, she becomes obsessed with the monster and her discovery of a fugitive, sheltering in a nearby house, only adds to her fear. Erice's eerie insight into children's imaginations is a lyrical, moving drama.
