ORIGINAL ENGLISH SOUNDTRACK - GUARANTEED > > > > > A bag full of symbolic folklore from acclaimed director Neil Jordan (The Crying Game, Inverview With The Vampire) about werewolves, or rather, their sexual connotation... Granny tells her grand-daughter Rosaleen strange, disturbing tales about innocent maidens falling in love with handsome, heavily eyebrowed strangers with a smoldering look in their eyes; about sudden disappearances of spouses when the moon is round & the wolves are howling in the woods, and about babies found inside stork eggs. The tale of Little Red Riding-hood is also present, with a very handsome he-wolf who, of course, consumes Grandmother, but 'consumes' Little Red Riding-hood. All the stories are somehow reducible to loss of innocence, and fear of/hunger for (a newly acquired) sexuality; their Freudian character is mirrored in their dreamlike shapes. Not so much a horror movie, "The Company Of Wolves" is more a tale about the transition to adolescence...
