Entertainment Reviews:

Sight and Sound - 12/01/1973

"...The film works supremely well as an evocation of childhood aided immeasurably by the quite miraculous performances Erice has elicited from his tiny players..."

Total Film - 12/01/2003

"...A tragic tale of childhood innocence that's as sweet as honey, but still packs a vivid emotional sting..."

New York Times - 09/26/2006

"It is a film that can be watched with great pleasure purely as an abstract examination of light and space, but Mr. Erice remains rooted in the particular details of time, place and his strongly individualized characters."

Product Description:

A lonely little village girl who sees Boris Karloff's "Frankenstein," becomes entranced by the monster. The girl's sister convinces her the monster is still alive and she treks off into the countryside to find him.
