The Company of Wolves

Nicolas Roeg’s “The Company of Wolves” is a sly, provocative adaptation of Angela Carter’s dark fairy tales, centering on Rosaleen, a young girl whose vivid imagination is fueled by her grandmother’s cautionary tales. These stories warn of wolves that lurk in the shadows, their human exterior concealing a primal, dangerous nature. As Rosaleen matures, the film blurs the lines between innocence and desire, inviting viewers to confront the complexities of womanhood and the inevitable allure of the forbidden.
