Cinemaniacs Screening Neil Jordan’s THE COMPANY OF WOLVES In Melbourne
Following recent screenings of MONKEY SHINES & KING KONG, CINEMANIACS return to the animal realm for their next event this Saturday Night at Melbourne‘s Astor Theatre, with Neil Jordan‘s 1984 lycanthrope classic THE COMPANY OF WOLVES.
THE COMPANY OF WOLVES screening will be accompanied by a pre-show presentation with Dr. Michelle Smith.
Rosaleen (Sarah Patterson) is a teenager, living in a country house in England with her family in the present days, and having a nightmare with wolves and werewolves in the Middle Ages. In her dream, her boring sister is dead, she lives with her father and her mother, but she spends lots of time with her lovely grandmother. Granny (Dame Angela Lansbury) tells her many stories of werewolf and gives her the following advice: “Never stray from the path in the woods, never eat a windfall apple, and never trust a man whose eyebrows meet.” One day, Rosaleen, while going to visit her grandmother, meets a handsome man and bets who would arrive first at her granny’s house. Soon she finds who he is.
Nominated for four BAFTA awards including Best Costume Design, Best Make Up Artist, Best Production Design/Art Direction and Best Special Visual Effects, THE COMPANY OF WOLVES is timeless classic.
