Beware of wolves

P=: little Rosaleen, she can’t resist a wolf

whistle.

| By COLIN LAMONT |

Lord knows, her Grannie,
her mother and her father
have all told her what hap-
pens to young girls who
stray from the forest path,
but as the song says, girls
just wanna have fun.

Rosaleen (Sarah Patter-
son) is of course soon sur-
rounded in The Company of
Wolves, and must do battle
with her own desires, fears
and adolescent sexuality. In
fact, Neal. Jordan’s film,
The Company of Wolvesis a
rewrite of that old favorite
Little Red Riding Hood. But
I really couldn't call it a
howling success.

The. film follows the fan-
tasy world of sweet, young
Rosaleen, who lies dreaming
of her new found erctic feel-
ings in modern day England.
The dream throws her back
centuries into time when
man dwelt in the medieval
forest, and only found pro-

tection from the horrors of
the darkness behind the
walls of well-lit huts, secure
from such beasts as the wolf,

Rosaleen’s mother and fa-
ther have already lost one
daughter to those scheming,
hungry beasts and hope to
protect their only remaining
girl from meeting the same
fate.

And so we follow the in-
nocent young maiden
through the struggling dark-
ness of her own mind, she
and her grannie walk the
path through the forest,
when all around them lurks
the evil of adulthood, with
lots of symbolic snakes
hanging from every branch
and bush, just waiting for
the unsuspecting girl to
reach out for the forbidden
fruit.

“Never trust a man who’s
eyebrows meet in the mid-
die,”? warns Rosaleen’s dear
old grannie. These type of
men are the ones who are
hairy on the inside and will

turn into wolves, gobbling
up young girls who stop to
talk with them.

Apart from symbolism,
The Company of Wolves
throws a lot of special ef-
fects at us, counting on the
horror of watching the wolf
in man emerge to fill in the
gaps of plot.

Even her grandmother’s
stories can’t keep the young
girl from straying off the
forest path and deep within
its primal darkness, she
meets a handsome huntsman
(Micha Bergese) who leads
her astray.

The Company of Wolves
could have used more humor
to help its audience tarough
the sometimes confusing at-
ray of symbolism and hidden
references to Rosaleen’s
journey through her own
mind. Men in wolves’
clothing is hardly a new
theme and in this case isn’t
even worth a whistle.

The Company of Wolves
is now siicwing at The Cor-
oret, Dolphin, West Van
Odeon and Westminster
Mall.
