Movie Description
BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF is a wild mix of martial arts, horror, and French period drama. Grégoire de Fronsac (Samuel Le Bihan), a charming naturalist and libertine, arrives in Gevaudan with his companion, Mani (Mark Dacascos), a taciturn Mohawk Iroquois Indian with amazing fighting skills. Fronsac has been sent by the king to investigate a mysterious beast that is slaughtering women and children across the countryside. The local gentry include the friendly Marquis Thomas D'Apcher (Jérémie Rénier), Jean-François de Morangias (Vincent Cassel), a one-armed adventurer with a suspicious nature, and his beautiful sister, Marianne (Emilie Dequenne of ROSETTA). Though Fronsac is immediately attracted to Marianne, he still finds time to visit Sylvia (Monica Bellucci), a mysterious prostitute with a penchant for sharp objects. Fronsac and Mani quickly realize that the killer is not a wolf, but something bigger and far more deadly. As they attempt to track the beast, they encounter unexpected resistance from the locals, and find themselves in grave danger. BROTHERHOOD, a huge hit in France, is a uniquely entertaining film, featuring stunning fight scenes, suspense, and campy high drama. Director Christophe Gans captures it all with a visual panache few Hollywood directors can match.
Industry Reviews
"...Just about as good as action movies get....[A] film that's exciting, smart, sexy and scary..."
Box Office - p.56 - Tim Cogshell (01/01/2002)
"...[The film] whooshes around the room like a newly opened balloon....Mr. Gans is a shrewd filmmaker....He gives the film a luxuriant pictorial beauty..."
New York Times - p.E30 - Elvis Mitchell (01/11/2002)
"...Stylishly shot and edited, awash in fast-paced jump cuts and whooshing, MATRIX-style sound effects, the eerie story and special effects get pulses racing..."
USA Today - p.12D - Claudia Puig (01/11/2002)
"...WOLF is a cross-cultural hoot..."
Los Angeles Times - p.C1 - Kenneth Turan (01/11/2002)
"...A great-looking, cheerfully preposterous French film....Well-made, over the top, a lot of fun..."
Chicago Sun-Times - p.5 - Roger Ebert (03/03/2002)
"...Beautifully shot..."
Entertainment Weekly - Marc Bernardin (10/04/2002)
