A stylised interpretation of the Little Red Riding Hood story starring Christina Ricci as the little girl, and Timour Bourtasenkov as a wolf that seems to have been trained in interpretative dance. The B+W cinematography is a loving homage to silent era cinema that looks wonderful, but the awful script, narrated by Quentin Crisp, brings the quality of the whole thing plummeting down. Unfortunately, you can’t just turn down the volume to avoid it, because you’ll lose the Claude Debussy music that breathes extra life into the action.
