If you go down to the woods today in The Company of Wolves, you're sure of a big surprise! Little Red Riding Hood and Werewolf legends abound in this film bathed in explicit sexual imagery. Enter a magical, mysterious world where little girls should beware of men whose eyebrows meet in the middle and where men transform nightmarishly into wolves...Director Neil Jordan, who adapted Angela Carter's short story for the screen, takes us deep into a macabre fairy tale, developing the rich and lurid dreams of Rosaleen (Sarah Patterson - in her debut film role), an adolescent girl in a world where legends of wonder and fear woven by her Grandmother (Angela Lansbury), becomes reality. It dovetails the sensual, grotesque and magical with the folklore of witches and wolves, but Rosaleen is determined to confront and dispel the myths which assail her.
