Criterion is proud to present Víctor Erice’s spellbinding The Spirit of the Beehive (El espíritu de la colmena), widely regarded as the greatest Spanish film of the 1970s. In a small Castilian village in 1940, in the wake of the country’s devastating civil war, six-year-old Ana attends a traveling movie show of Frankenstein and becomes possessed by the memory of it. Produced as Franco’s long regime was nearing its end, The Spirit of the Beehive is a bewitching portrait of a child’s haunted inner life and one of the most visually arresting movies ever made.

Tenho sim, eu não estou em casa no momento, vou voltar em umas 2 semanas, esses ups eu deixei fazendo no automático. Mas depois eu coloco o Rififi na lista, inclusive porque vão fazer um remake em hollywood e eu acho interessante que o pessoal tenha acesso ao trabalho original que sem sombra de dúvida é e vai continuar sendo superior.

T+!

Nice one, many thanks as usual.

@CR
Never heard of this before but looks interesting. By the way, I see you're still using rapidshare. Did you decide to stick with it or are you planning to switch to megaupload later? Also, from what Babelfish has translated from you're last comment, I take it that you won't be uploading anything for 2 weeks or something? Also something about a remake of Shadow of a Doubt? I'm confused.

Posted By: CerealRipper Date: 10 Oct 2009 01:11:20

These web-translations are always nonsense. What i meant is that i can't change my queue (add new stuff) for the next 2 weeks, meaning the queue is already closed for the next 2 weeks. But movies will continue to be uploaded. the ugetsu thread has more info about this rapidsahre thing, i'll stick with it since my problem with them was settled.

The remake thing is the Rififi, there is a Rififi remake coming out in 2010 if i am not mistaken. fedalme asked me to upload the Criterion edition of Rififi.

Best,
CR

Many many thanks Ripper for this Victor Erice gem. Any chance of giving us 'El Sur ' CR ?

Posted By: lauryyk Date: 10 Oct 2009 03:00:21

CR, You're the only reason why I am still logging in to avax.

Spirit of Beehive is one of those hearbreaking, beautiful film. A work of joy and of sadness.

Thank you.

(Seriously, regarding the rapid debacle, I am pleased that you continue to stick with it)

Posted By: CerealRipper Date: 10 Oct 2009 04:20:12

@silverzam

I will up El Sur, it will take a bit but to tell you the truth i am hunting for a better transfer of it, a rare japanese edition. I have an spanish edition that isn't bad. Spirit of The Beehive is one of my all time favs, it is beautifully haunting and one of the most intelligent political allegories.

Posted By: Firefox-user Date: 10 Oct 2009 09:02:42

Thank you!
As I understand you have a queue and occassionally take requests, and furthermore know Portuguese (I don´t), I have decided to let you know about my DREAM:
João César Monteiro : The Complete Collection - 11 DVD Boxset.
Impossible to find. Probably a totally impossible mission.
Thanks for all!

Posted By: Nosyrev Date: 10 Oct 2009 09:50:31

Great, great, great, Mr. CerealRipper, thank you so much again and again!!!

Posted By: silverzam Date: 10 Oct 2009 19:11:13

Thanks CR. Yes Spirit of the Beehive is also one of my fav.& most watched movies. Erice is a genius. I never dreamt that I will ever have a 2DVD 9 set - of this gem. I have a run down DVD 5. Thanks again.

Have El Sur in Divx - downloaded from FNB47 thread from this same Avaxhome years back. Otherwise that beautiful movie is mostly unheard of.You are really great Ripper !

excellent !!
thank you CR...

Not to detract from CR's uploads, I found this on the net for those of who want Rififi.

SYNOPSIS: After making such American noir classics as The Naked City and Brute Force, blacklisted director Jules Dassin went to Paris and embarked on his masterpiece: a twisting, turning tale of four ex-cons who hatch one last glorious heist in the City of Lights. At once naturalistic and expressionistic, this melange of suspense, brutality, and dark humor was an international hit and earned Dassin the Best Director prize at the Cannes Film Festival. Criterion is proud to present Rififi in a pristine digital transfer.

Year.............: 1955
Country..........: France
Audio..............: Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono
Subtitles...........: English
Video Format.....: 1.33:1
DVD Source.......: DVD9
DVD Format.......: NTSC

Special Features:
# Stunning new digital transfer, with fully restored image and sound.
# Exclusive video interview with director Jules Dassin.
# Set design drawings by Alexandre Trauner.
# Production stills and notes.
# Theatrical trailer.
# New and improved English subtitle translation.
# Optional English-dubbed soundtrack.

It's the full criterion dvd9 but in 100 meg rar files. Credit goes to joeprdekana. It's a dlc file so you have to use jdownloader to get it. Anyway, hopefully it saves CR the trouble of uploading it and we can get some other movies. Enjoy.

You can post the link to the original place where you found it, if you want to... maybe there is more.

Posted By: Girhomer Date: 11 Oct 2009 05:35:27

Here you go:

I figured because it's tehparadox, the people without accounts there wouldn't find this link useful. Anyway, there are some screenshots and stuff so take a look.

@CR
I know you said your queue is full but I'd like to add to my previous requests of Drunken Angel and High and Low and Kwaidan. Basically I'd like to add: Sansho the Bailiff, the MOC Shoeshine, Indiscretion of an American Wife, The Children Are Watching Us, The Devil and Daniel Webster, The leopard, and a good copy of Dersu Uzala (or other Kurosawa works not available on Criterion) if you have them. Also have you ever heard of this movie, Kiga Kaikyo (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0279901/). It sounds great.

I CAN'T BURN THE IMAGE :-( PLEASE HELP ME
I HAVE NERO BURNING ROOM 7. THE ERROR " please insert an empty disc" ...double layer. I have new discs , a lot, but the error persist. Please, someone...

Posted By: CerealRipper Date: 04 Nov 2009 05:58:55

You need a DOUBLE-LAYER DVD (8.5GBs), that is all! You can't burn on a Single-Layer DVD unless choose to compress the size to a single-layer DVD.

Sorry with my English, but I have to thank this. I recently found this site, and I happy to say that all these criterion I found here are the most beautiful editions.

Thanks a lot CerealRipper, I don't have any other word to express my gratitude.
