  Victor Erice
Victor Erice uses the recurrent imagery of the beehive to create a pervasive sense of claustrophobia and geographic disconnection: the honeycomb structure of the stain glass windows through the house; the amber glow of the oil lamps and candles; the pervasive haze of the darkness of winter.
Victor Erice achieves an atmosphere that is both naturalistic and mystical by shooting in natural light to visually reinforce hues and gradations that, in turn, reflect Estrella's gradual perceptional shift towards her father.
Similar to the feature films of Abbas Kiarostami, Erice interweaves reality and fiction using a cast of nonprofessional actors in order to distill the fictionalized account of the artist's life and reveal the emotional honesty of the creative spirit.

 Letters to the World: Erice-Kiarostami: Correspondences Curated by Alain Bergala and Jordi Balló
The section for Erice has a subdued light, as if one were entering into a cinema hall, with images arising from the darkness, while the section for Abbas Kiarostami, with large and smaller photos full of “empty” white spaces, seems almost blinding at first glance.
Erice’s recounting of this early adventure becomes both an autobiographical work and an exploration of early cinema and of the effects of Fascism, as well as a metaphysical musing on what endures in memory.
Erice’s twenty-minute reply begins with a whimsical tribute to Kiarostami’s letter: a dresser on which rests a porcelain figurine of a cow and a photo of Erice as a child rather gingerly posing with a cow.

 Erice-Kiarostami
Above all, these are clairvoyant, silent children through whom Erice and Kiarostami seek to rediscover the infancy of their art and an as-yet primitive, magical vision of the mysteries of the world which was that of the children they once were.
Kiarostami and Erice also have a ‘politique of slowness’ in common, which is the greatest of the current acts of resistance to the accelerating rotation of cultural objects, and to the pseudo-demands of an allegedly evermore impatient public.
Erice has often filmed photographs in his fiction films, while keeping his own practice as a photographer a secret; whereas, for Kiarostami, being a photographer has become an activity as essential in his eyes as cinema, enabling him, like poetry, to create images in the solitude of his contemplative and meditative wanderings in nature.

 Victor Erice
It is unsurprising that Erice turned directly to the subject of painting (and the painter) in The Quince Tree Sun, making explicit—making it, in fact, the ostensible subject of the film—a preoccupation with light, observational detail and the shifting but subtle patterns and differences wrought by the passing of time.
A 'time' which Erice sees as endemic of artistic creation itself: “Time is present in every work of artistic creation because mankind seeks permanence.” (4) But like the painter's work, his cinema is also one of process, what it captures moment-by-moment is as important as its ambiguous conclusions.
Erice's films are also remarkable for the space they give to all of their characters—even the woman (played by Aurore Clément) only seen in the film-within-a-film in The South is able to express herself through the long letter she sends to Estrella's father.

 Risks and Revelations
Maybe the fact that Erice is a newcomer to this sort of enterprise can partly explain the anomaly, but Kiarostami, besides being a photographer, is already a veteran of this recent development.
One could say that, unlike most of their colleagues in the industrial/commercial standard cinema, both Erice and Kiarostami regard and film mainly to see better, to learn something about whatever they discover, find, recall, search or invent, and to detect what lies beneath those realities or fictions, those human beings, these recollections.
Erice’s latest film is a mainly fl and white affair of singular density, emotion and intimacy, where he recalls the child he once was, and the lure of cinema.
