  Everyone Gets What They Don't Need 1966

  Watched 10 Mar 2021

  [Watched without subs]

  I couldn't make much sense of it, let alone the synopsis says it is a surreal short, so... yeah.

  Second Królikiewicz short, with some interesting framing, editing and camera work just like The Dancing Hawk.

  There are around 3 different situations in the short that once juxtaposed one from another kind of make sense. The swimming at the beginning, the holocaust scenes and the possible war survivors in swimming therapy (I suppose). But still I don't get the whole picture.

  Anyways, it's good to some extent.

  The Spirit of the Beehive 1973

  ★★★★★ Watched 21 Mar 2019

  I'm speechless.
  This is one of the most magical films I've ever seen. I'm still processing what I just saw.
  It's a shame Víctor Erice doesn't have a big filmography. I only need to watch the documentary El sol de membrillo and the various shorts he has done.

  Pure poetry. I'm anxious to watch this film again. It is so beautiful in so many ways I can't describe.
