The Company of Wolves
1984 · TMDB 6.3
Directed by Neil Jordan
An adaptation of Angela Carter's fairy tales. Young Rosaleen dreams of a village in the dark woods, where Granny tells her cautionary tales in which innocent maidens are tempted by wolves who are hairy on the inside. As Rosaleen grows into womanhood, will the wolves come for her too?
Why it matters
A young girl's dreams interweave with a series of dark, erotic retellings of Little Red Riding Hood, where wolves are men and men are wolves.
