The Spirit of the Beehive and La Strada
Aug. 22, Symphony Space, 2537 Broadway (at W. 95th St.), 212- 864-5400; 7, $11Before such idiocy as the Secret Life of Bees, there was the Spirit of the Beehive, Spanish director Victor Erice’s 1973 masterpiece. It features a very lonely and lovely young girl named Ana. Also playing tonight—double feature y’all—Fellini’s La Strada, which is no less wonderful for you probably having already seen it.
Bottom Line: Really a no brainer for the cinephile or anyone trying to score points as sophisticated.
