II watched this film last night (4 am) on TCM after waking up and not being able to fall asleep; it did not help to make me sleepy to say the least. The film moves at such an ethereal, intoxicating pace that it was impossible to ignore. There are many metaphors, allegories, and symbolic representations, that to fully appreciate what the director is presenting demands further viewings. I have not stopped thinking about the film for many hours and plan to buy this film and share it with others. One theme that keeps coming to mind is the relationship between Ana and her father. I’ll have to revisit this, however, Frankenstein’s monster, I believe is her father and Ana was hallucinating that he was the monster. Also related to this scene is that Ana is near a pond when approached by the “monster”, however, when they find her she is sleeping beside a ruin, which suggests that she was moved there by the monster. Any comments about my thoughts on this magnificent film are welcomed.
