This man only made three features, and one of them isn't even complete. It's a great shame because he is so talented. The Spirit of the Beehive is among the best debut films I've ever seen.

Spirit of the Beehive is a masterpiece, its a shame he made such few films...

[criterionmaster]

yeah, i love, love, love spirit of the beehive. are his other film(s) suppose to be good? and are they even available?

[eatawiiner]

I've heard wonderful things about El Sur, but haven't seen any of his films for sale besides Spirit. He's made a shit ton of commercials, i'll try and see if any are online.

I read that El Sur is an incomplete film. Erice ran out of money before he could finish it. The Dream of Light sounds like an amazing documentary.
