Has nothing to do with werewolves

A grim bucolic melodrama about the stupidity of vendettas and the poisonous cycles of violence and hatred that pass on from generation to generation. "She-Wolf" (a misleading title) was just the second film ever made in Greece by the only female director working there at the time, Maria Plyta, and it is technically crude and primitive, and apparently only available in a scratchy TV print. But it deals with themes which are deep and pioneering for its time, and Plyta's touch is evident in the way she approaches the female characters, especially the young ones at the start. It's an interesting flm despite its faults. **1/2 out of 4.
