The Company of Wolves

Fascinating and imaginative, The Company of Wolves brings together the timeless Little Red Riding Hood and werewolf fables with a haunting, compelling, eerie and erotic difference. This movie is a magical bag of symbolic folklore about werewolves or rather their sexual connotation. Grandmother tells her granddaughter Sarah strange, disturbing tales about innocent maidens falling in love with handsome, heavily eyebrowed strangers that have a smouldering look in their eyes. She also tells her of sudden disappearances of spouses when the moon is round and the wolves are howling in the woods. (ITV DVD)
