The Company of Wolves

England w/d Neil Jordan

This is the film that put him on the international map. I saw it 25 years ago and thought it was great...this time I thought it was better than great. Brilliant visually, thematically, musically...every aspect of this production sparkled with vision and intelligence. The cast was splendid...especially Sarah Patterson and Angela Lansbury.

Wonderfully imaginative treatment of an ancient folk tale...this is what the movies can do best.
