Wolfen, 1981 (1hr 54mins)
Directed by Michael Wadleigh
At the Heygate Cinema (outdoors)
The film shows in two parts:
Part I - 8pm-9pm
Part II - 9.30pm-10.30pm
An unusual mix of werewolf movie, police procedural, and serial killer thriller, Wolfen is based on a 1978 novel by Whitley Strieber, and directed by Michael Wadleigh, best known for directing the documentary Woodstock (1969). Entangled in a plot symptomatically torn between political history, capitalist practice and mythologies of the land, Wolfen
is an odd and beguiling narrative about a critical moment in the
collapse of radical politics and the emergence of a feral neoliberalism
against a backdrop of urban dereliction and real estate speculation.
