International House, 3701 Chestnut
Movie screening at IHouse. “Ana Torrent (star of Victor Erice’s Spirit of the Beehive) plays Ana, witness to (and perhaps responsible for) her father’s death. Communicating with the spirit of her beloved mother (Geraldine Chaplin), she wanders through a tragically curtailed childhood. Torrent’s wide dark eyes were made to absorb the sins of the adult world and reflect them back to the audience; and they are perfectly matched, visually and spiritually, with the haunted adult eyes of Chaplin, who also plays the grown-up Ana.” 8pm, $7
