meganbmoore: (crossroads)

I just watched this movie (I believe it's based on and Angela Carter story?) which uses the basic Red Riding Hood story as a framework to tell all sorts of werewolf myths.  It was very interesting and 80s fantasy turned weird and creepy and surreal (and 80s fantasy is weird and surreal and sometimes creepy to start with) and actually possibly the most weirdly surreal thing I've seen (well, no, Utena is kinda hard to beat...), and I've seen my share of weirdly surreal things (though nowhere near as much as some of you.)

Seriously, though, if you're interested in myths and stories that combine myths, check it out.

Though, some comments people made about Red Riding Hood make more sense now.
