95 mins - United Kingdom 1984
Director: Neil Jordan
Starring: Sarah Patterson, Angela Lansbury and David Warner
THE COMPANY OF WOLVES takes us deep into a macabre fairytale, developing the rich
and lurid dreams of an adolescent girl in a world where legends of wonder and fear are
woven by the heroine’s grandmother…and become reality. It dovetails the sensual,
grotesque and magical with the folklore of witches and wolves, but our heroine is determined
to confront and dispel the myths which assail her. Neil Jordan’s second feature film as a
director celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, and has lost one of its dreamlike
creepiness.
“A delightfully perverse reworking of the traditional fairy tale.” Slant Magazine
