The Company of Wolves: 1984
Palace Pictures
Color 95 min.
Director: Neil Jordan
Cast: Angela Lansbury, Sarah Patterson, David Warner
Plot: This movie is a magical bag full of symbolic folklore about werewolves.
Grandmother (Lansbury) tells her granddaughter (Patterson) strange tales about
maidens falling in love with handsome strangers with a smoldering look in their
eyes. The story of Little Red Riding Hood is also present. All the stories
are somehow reducible to loss of innocence, and fear of / hunger for (a newly
acquired sense of) sexuality; their Freudian character is mirrored in their
dreamlike shapes.
