I frankly don't see why some find this film to be a masterpiece. Perhaps there was something lost in the translation, but as a viewer I don;t see from where the "satisfaction" is derived

A masterpiece. I do not use the term lightly. 2001 is a masterpeice. Vertigo is a masterpiece. The Seven Samurai is a masterpiece. I read a review (before watching this movie) on the IMDb about this film likening it to--and I quote--"the best of Kurosawa, Rivette, Bergman, Angelopoulos." I did not believe it; however, after watching this movie I agree. This is the best "overlooked" film I have EVER seen. The composition is that of a master. Each shot is carefully directed, and it is clear Vlacil knew what he was doing behind the camera. The story is also magnificent, an epic, at a mere 95 minutes. The climax and denoument will have you on the edge of your seat. The story muses on faith, regret, faithfulness, love, and does so to the satisfaction of the viewer. And by the way, Vlacil's film, Marketa Lazarova, is (apparently) considered the greatest Czech film ever, so Valley of the Bees is only his second best film! My only complaint is the DVD print is poor.
