reviewerinoimdbino Odd, odd, odd. It's a little like watching Ken Russell seen through a prism of Alain Resnais. And the "wolves" of the title are not exactly "wolves" and not exactly "werewolves." You'll see what I mean when you see their costumes. Being a wolf, or becoming a wolf through inborn genetic or infectious disease or "contact" is a metaphor for homosexuality. (No, I'm not dissing what I am and what you probably are--it's just part of the film's wackiness.) Once you see it's from a play by Charles Lambert, it all makes sense. But it beautifully translates to film.I love the old lady, Fanny, who despite myriad lines and wrinkles on her tanned old face still retains the remains of great beauty. Hearing the actress adopt a cockney or regional accent, puckishly enunciating her saucy remarks, is a delight. (She also played the incredible beauty at the end of "The Da Vinci Code.") This film is also a satire of the class war, reminiscent of Mike Leigh's "High Hopes." Catch Polly, a member of the Biffen family, with her ludicrous "county" accent as she wears her quilted jacket and complains that the minister won't allow her dog Parsnip into church.A delightful film, helped by the fantastic beauty of the English countryside and the fantastic beauty of the lead Gabriel, played by James Layton. A melange of humor, beauty, and oddness.

tristeza-2 WOLVES OF KROMER is a low budget movie and you can see that all the time you watch it. Some may find the look of the wolves amusing (the furry tail sticking out of their pants in particular), but I think that's not the point. The director paid more attention to the case of two elderly ladies who kill another one -and this issue takes more time than the wolves actually. Another weakness of WOLVES is the lack of any deeper psychological attempt to explain why do characters act the way they do. But do we get that kind of stuff in fairy tales? No. Fairy tales are supposed to be enjoyable. And so are THE WOLVES OF KROMER. The movie is cute, charming at times, the music and photography are beautiful (and you'll love the landscapes). This is not a masterpiece, but just a nice and sweet fable. Don't expect to witness a great movie or you'll get disappointed. Expect to see simplicity, sweetness and beauty. And you'll have fun.

Shiveyuk Gay werewolves? emmmm ... a likely story. Though their shabby fur coats and sewn on tales, definitely shows that this film didn't really have that big of a budget, but its not totally unbelieveable considering the werewolves are suppose of be symbolic of gay males, and not actual monsters. I'd recommend this film if your looking for a little eye candy, as the two main characters (Gabriel and Seth) aren't too bads on the eyes, considering their both male models! Which generally explains why they were a little lacking in the acting department.In truth the two old ladies creep the hell out of me, especially Fanny, but there performance was a little better than the wolves, though they don't shine a very nice light on lesbian's.This is going to sound really bad, but my favourite part was the credits. But only cause they look sooo gorgeous! But I don't want to give too much away.To sum it up:-Acting: 5/10 Costumes: 4/10 Plot: 8/10 Eye candy: 10/10

henrybrealy unique, in the best sense of the word. say what you want about it (it's low budget, some of the acting creaks, it's not 'horror') but this is bold and beautiful storytelling. and it doesn't hurt that the boys are stunning :-)
