The Company of Wolves | comment |
A 1984 horror/fantasy film directed by Neil Jordan and written by Angela Carter. It's loosely based on a short-story of the same name from the anthology The Bloody Chamber.note The film also includes elements from two other stories in the collection, "The Werewolf" and "Wolf-Alice".Rosaleen, a young girl ("I'm twelve and three-quarters old!"), falls asleep in her parents' mansion and dreams of living in a quaint 18th-century village. After her sister is killed in the forest by a pack of wolves, Rosaleen's grandmother shares several stories with her, which warn of the dangers of deceptive wolves who roam the forest at night, looking for young girls to devour... She is informed to never trust a man whose eyebrows meet in the middle and that the most dangerous wolves are "The ones with fur on the inside".Think of it as resembling "Little Red Riding Hood", if written by Sigmund Freud and directed by David Lynch. | |

The Company of Wolves / int_1a09b4f9 | comment |
The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: Rosaleen and Alice are implied to be locked in one of these. Alice is older and more glamorous, with lipstick that Rosaleen keeps borrowing, so she is probably the pretty sister. Rosaleen meanwhile is intuitive and imaginative, making her the smart sister. | |

The Company of Wolves / int_1da3a484 | comment |
Alice Allusion: Rosaleen's older sister is called Alice, and the dream starts off following her through a passage of oversized toys that references going down the rabbit hole. She is also color-coded with white, and Rosaleen with red (the White Queen and Red Queen). Later when Rosaleen strays from the beaten path, she follows a white rabbit. | |

Framing Device | |
The Company of Wolves / int_1e1afc1b | comment |
Framing Device: The real world scenes where we firmly establish that the majority of the movie is a dream. There is also evidence of the 18th century scenes being in a dreamscape, such as Alice encountering giant children's toys in the woods shortly before her attack by wolves, the giant mushrooms seen in the forest multiple times, Rosaleen finding baby figurines in a stork's nest, and some examples of Anachronism Stew. | |

Chekhov's Gun: The moment the wolf/huntsman knocks off Granny's head seems to be out of left field, unless you remember that while other major characters were featured in the real world sequences — Rosaleen's parents and sister — Granny was never a person at all. She was one of the dolls in Rosaleen's room. Alice wears a cross around her neck that is given to Rosaleen after she dies. Rosaleen's mother seeing the cross around a wolf's neck tells her that the wolf is really her daughter. | |

Anachronism Stew: Justified in that everything but the Framing Device is All Just a Dream.

The third story shows the modern mansion from the Framing Device in the background, standing in for an 18th Century Georgian manor-house. | |

One Dialogue, Two Conversations: Deliberately done between Granny and the Huntsman. On first viewing, and from Granny's point of view it sounds very like the huntsman is just a smooth talker, snidely telling Granny that Rosaleen was asking for it. From the huntman's point of view "Nothing she didn't want" literally means he didn't do anything Rosaleen didn't consent to. | |

Foreshadowing: Rosaleen's mother says "if there's a beast in man, it meets its match in woman". Later when the village men are fighting over whether Rosaleen has been captured, mother throws water on them to cool them off. And at the end, Rosaleen turns into a wolf to join the Huntsman. | |

Feminist Fantasy | |
The Company of Wolves / int_9f74002a | comment |
Feminist Fantasy: Angela Carter was a diehard feminist, and her collection of short stories were based on feminist reworkings of classic fairy tales. The film takes "Little Red Riding Hood" variants which taught girls to be afraid of their own sexuality, and turns it around so that Rosaleen is empowered by it instead. | |
