Comment on The Spirit of the Beehive

The Spirit of the Beehive was on TCM. I might have exhausted my ability to profitably wallow in ennui and isolation.... and Beehive would most benefit someone with a tolerance for little girls combined with a patience with others' reveries. Though I might find myself failing in both regards, I do like bees. 

from an IMDB review: "The imagination of childhood that has no idea yet whether the world is ordinary or extraordinary; the powerlessness of the child in the grip of tentative imaginings created out of fear and fascination, and drawn, if only by curiosity, towards a compelling but inexplicable fate, and yielding to it, only to find it chimerical."
