Scala Beyond - Savage Cinema presents THE COMPANY OF WOLVES / PAPERHOUSE
I just got back from Roxy Bar & Screen where I saw two fantastic films screened by Savage Cinema for Scala Beyond. Kids' films for adults. Both are recommended. I'm not sure what to write, but I'll try to jot a few notes down. Homemade elderflower cordial. First film was The Company of Wolves, a Little Red Riding Hood story. Full of surreal scenes. Giant mushrooms, psychedelic colours, rainbow. Forest, magic items, fantasy. The dining scene was my favourite. Quite a few funny fake effects. What is the reason for its sexuality? There is a link that connects to this film and subject: The Childrens Bizarre (got it from Today is Boring Adam).
Then after a short break came Paperhouse, a girl's dreams respond to her drawings, we move back and forth between her dreams and wakeful states. Dreams are dreamlike, absorbing. Now, opposed to the previous movie, there is very little sexuality here on the surface, the girl even looks and dressed as a boy. Why?
It was great to see two good films I have never heard of before.
The sofas are much much much more comfortable than the wooden chairs when it comes to watching a movie. I would fill the room with sofas, or pillows. Quality of the screening was perfect, enjoyed both films. thank You
I'm very sleepy, I want to dream.
Meet you there!
