<p>I’ve recovered bit after (or because of) skimming thru “Pink Flamingos”
“the Spirit of the Beehive” is another one of revisiting from young and stupid art student days of mine.
poetic cinema. another Vermeer visual, with few words but images after images are beautiful art after artworks.
in bonus disc, actors tells experience of not getting script at all nor what are they supposed to be making. they did it anyway because director knew what he wanted.
in the interview, the director looks back and says some parts, how it was like filming documentary, that ability film has- or had to record reality as it happens- had been lost in today’s film. hear!! hear!!!
film about 40s post civil war that made in 1970s, Franco was still alive but barely. the timing was critical.
miracle, almost.
all I remembered from my student day viewing was how cute those girls were in matching spread collar linen school coats with red cardboard lunch boxes.
history, actual goings on the world at the time, or of referenced to other films, I had no idea.
but hey, at least we knew when we saw something good.</p>
