3. Thanx
I skimmed a review. Found this at the end:

*********
"I'm Not Scared" features the same dark, childhood thrill-seeking as Victor Erice's "Spirit of the Beehive" (1973), a movie not nearly as popular as "E.T" but one that matches Spielberg's movie enchantment for enchantment. There, two Castilian girls hunt for Frankenstein's monster, after the James Whale movie classic comes to town. "I'm Not Scared" is more operatic. Watching it is like being lost in somebody's richly moody campfire story -- it's so good, in fact, that only once it's over do you realize you've been holding your marshmallows too close to the flame.
********

I adore "Spirit of the Beehive." If it's got anything near that magical awakening vibe set in the European country side, I'm there. Love Italian movies, in particualr, from romantic comedies of 60's to trashier stuff in the 70's to this directors "Mediterraneo" (sp?).

Thanks for the tip. Will see if it's playong here.
