Now I know why Dario Argento admires this thing. Mostly naivete for naivete's sake in its presentation of fairy tales but filmed with a flair for the weird and the unsettling so I can't complain. That last dream sequence where the wolves pounce through that window is pretty amazing. See my interview with Neil Jordan for the New York Press where I compare The Company of Wolves and Ondine.
