The Company of Wolves
Directed by Neil Jordan
“The Company of Wolves is a dream about werewolves and little girls, and deep, dark forests..."
"... It is not a children's film or an exploitation film; it is a disturbing and stylish attempt to collect some of the nightmares that lie beneath the surface of Little Red Riding Hood. The movie has an uncanny, hypnotic force; we always know what is happening, but we rarely know why, or how it connects with anything else, or how we can escape from it, or why it seems to correspond so deeply with our guilts and fears. That is, of course, almost a definition of a nightmare.” – Roger Ebert (1984, 95 min, 35mm)
--------
The provocative undercurrent of this smart, stylish dream about little girls and werewolves is sexual awakening, with all its fears and desires.
