Storyline

- TriviaLilith Stangenberg, talked about the explicit contacts who has with a wolf in this movie: "When you shoot a love scene with an actor, there is always something between you, the script or something. A love scene with a wolf is just a reality. He hasn't read a script. The scene was scheduled for an evening and the wolf was fed up. He just didn't do anything anymore. He had probably eaten too much scrambled eggs. I was lying on the bed smeared with liver sausage and always had to call him, but he didn't care. The next morning we tried again, I called, he didn't come ...And suddenly he came and licked my whole head and neck and stuff and the whole scene happened exactly as in the script. And I have to say: I have never experienced such a level of dedication, such a loss of control. That inspired me so much that I could only cheer afterwards. It was the same for me in the scene where I lure the wolf with menstrual blood .... A radical surrender along with a huge loss of control. After that I was proud that I did it in front of the camera," she says.

Featured review
I tend to like films that are not "the same old thing" - and this certainly delivers on that.
In a different way to "The Dice Man" (book) which uses its dice device (hoho) to lead the character to behave in very uncivilised fashion, this takes the premiss of a woman taking a lead from an ultimate symbol of wildness (the wolf) and allowing it to gradually come to dominate her entire approach to life. Intriguingly, other characters are also drawn to her "new wildness" and start to act in less-extreme echoes of her new manner.
As a study in what it means to be civilised and to what degree modern life therefore contains and constrains us, it's therefore very interesting and, I think, well done - with a great central performance from Lilith Stangenberg.
Recommended.
