FilmWatch Weekly: Red Riding Hood revised in 'To Kill a Wolf,' plus the Hanabi Film Fest, Denzel and Spike's 'Highest 2 Lowest,' and more * Oregon ArtsWatch
Briefly

To Kill a Wolf reinterprets the familiar tale of 'Little Red Riding Hood' by deconstructing it and omitting traditional elements. The film introduces a woodsman and a lost woman named Dani who, while trying to reach her grandmother's home, forms an alliance with the recluse. The screenplay deliberately evokes the undercurrents of sexuality in the original tale, challenging societal discomfort with such themes. Ultimately, Taylor believes that despite the story's standalone nature, its connection to the traditional narrative adds depth to her vision.
To Kill a Wolf, directed by Kelsey Taylor, is a deconstruction of 'Little Red Riding Hood' that omits traditional elements and focuses on deeper themes rather than horror or supernatural elements.
The narrative centers on a young woman, Dani, who is lost in the Oregon forest, and a gruff Woodsman who helps her on her journey while they uncover their individual secrets.
