THE COMPANY OF WOLVES
1984,
Park Circus/ITV,
93 min,
UK,
Dir: Neil Jordan
Director Neil Jordan’s first feature film is a charmingly phantasmagorical dream collage of werewolf lore, pitched somewhere between a creepy fairy tale and full-blown Hammer horror. A beguiling metaphor for sexual awakening and the loss of innocence, with an exceptional cast that includes Sarah Patterson, Angela Lansbury, David Warner and Stephen Rea.
