This essay proposes a new approach to three fi lms, The Night of the Hunter (Charles Laughton, 1955), Moonfleet (Fritz Lang, 1955) and El espíritu de la colmena (Víctor Erice, 1973), by comparing and analysing structural and audiovisual elements that refer to the Fall of Man and Expulsion from Paradise Myth as a coming-of-age tale.
