Anecdotes
Cinematographer Luis Cuadrado was going blind at the time this film was made. An assistant would take Polaroids of the scenes and Cuadrado would direct the lighting by looking through a magnifying glass at these pictures. In 1980 Cuadrado committed suicide after he went completely blind and the tumor in his brain became too painful to face.

Gaffes
When Ana and Isabel first go to the well, there are stones around the base. Ana steps on one to look down into the well. When she returns later there are no longer any stones so when she looks in to the well she is much too short to see down into it.

Citations
Ana: [unable to sleep] Isabel?
Isabel: [opening her eyes] What?
Ana: [whispering] Tell me what you were going to tell me.
Isabel: [whispering] About what?
Ana: The movie.
Isabel: Not now... Tomorrow.
Ana: Now... You promised. Why did he kill the girl, and why did they kill him after that?... You don't know - you're a liar.
Isabel: They didn't kill him, and he didn't kill the girl.
Ana: How do you know? How do you know they didn't die?
Isabel: Everything in the movies is fake. It's all a trick. Besides, I've seen him alive.
Ana: Where?
Isabel: In a place I know near the village. People can't see him. He only comes out at night.
Ana: Is he a ghost?
Isabel: No, he's a spirit.
Isabel: Like the spirit Dona Lucia talks about?
Isabel: Yes, but spirits have no bodies. That's why you can't kill them.
Ana: But he had one in the movie. He had arms and feet. He had everything.
Isabel: It's a disguise they put on when they go outside...
Ana: If he only comes out at night, how can you talk to him?
Isabel: I told you he was a spirit. If you're his friend, you can talk to him whenever you want. Just close your eyes and call him... It's me, Ana... It's me Ana...
[they hear what sounds like ominous footsteps and are silent]

Young/Frankenstein..

When was the last time a movie made you swoon, I mean physically? I waited around 30 years to view this quiet, contemplative film touching on an excursion into a child's mind and a portrait of innocence not yet seen or experienced, by me anyway. After finally importing a copy, it was worth waiting all that time and a textbook example of one of those quite rare instances when you realize that yes, cinema can be magic and transcendent. I'm not going to throw words around like 'masterpiece' and the like with this film as that would somehow seem vulgar. What it deserves is a quiet respect, which I felt also emanating strongly from the film itself. Not a lot happens. In a small Castilian outpost, James Whale's Frankenstein is shown for the populace. From an austere homefront, two young girls navigate sweeping beige and brown plains and share a discovery. One forms a spiritual connection which will remain with her always. Fragile, slow and haunting, Spirit Of The Beehive is about many things, you just have to construe it on your own personal level. And believe....
