To The Devil a Daughter: Episode 2: The Beast (1975) and The Company of Wolves (1984)

To The Devil a Daughter

In this episode host Kat Ellinger explores the intersections between Polish director Walerian Borowczyk and British feminist author Angela Carter; especially their shared interest in shapeshifting, fairy tale, eroticism, and female empowerment through embracing the animal within. The main focus of the episode is a discussion of Borowczyk’s 1975 film The Beast and Neil Jordan’s filmic adaptation of Carter’s The Company of Wolves (1984) — the latter co-scripted by the author herself.
