Event

The film of Angela Carter’s The Company of Wolves is a psychologically-themed retelling of the age-old fable Little Red Riding Hood, which director Neil Jordan (The Crying Game) has approached from a Freudian and feminist angle. Angela Lansbury plays Grandma, who tells her dreaming granddaughter (Sarah Patterson) bizarre stories of handsome yet heavily eye-browed strange men, spouses who disappear during full moons, and storks and eggs. Introduction by Stephen Woolley with Q&A.
