One of the finest films about childhood ever made. From 1973. Ana and her sister Isobel see Frankenstein and she becomes obsessed with the monster after Isobel tells her he's real and lives in their area. We watch as she tries to figure out what's real from fantasy, good from evil...all while her family seems to be fractured and broken.
AT has large, dark eyes and seems to take in everything with a knowing air. She is trusting, ingenuous, kindly...unprepared for a world which is none of those things.
Beautiful landscapes, cinematography, writing, pacing. One of the treasures of world cinema.
