Synopsis

Once upon a time in the village of Kromer lived two beautiful young wolves. Cocksure Gabriel takes newcomer Seth under his paw and helps reconcile him to the vilification associated with being a wolf. They fall head-over-heels in puppy love, playing together around picturesque waterfalls, secluded woodlands, and moonlit lakes. One day a wicked old crone and her goofy sidekick kill their mistress, frame the wolves, and incite a torch-bearing mob of religious zealots to seek vengeance on the hapless pair. But who will live happily ever after?

tristeza-2 WOLVES OF KROMER is a low budget movie and you can see that all the time you watch it. Some may find the look of the wolves amusing (the furry tail sticking out of their pants in particular), but I think that's not the point. The director paid more attention to the case of two elderly ladies who kill another one -and this issue takes more time than the wolves actually. Another weakness of WOLVES is the lack of any deeper psychological attempt to explain why do characters act the way they do. But do we get that kind of stuff in fairy tales? No. Fairy tales are supposed to be enjoyable. And so are THE WOLVES OF KROMER. The movie is cute, charming at times, the music and photography are beautiful (and you'll love the landscapes). This is not a masterpiece, but just a nice and sweet fable. Don't expect to witness a great movie or you'll get disappointed. Expect to see simplicity, sweetness and beauty. And you'll have fun.
buchtelitemason This movie promised to be a modern fairytale with a strong pro-gay message. A story of ostracized wolves in love and wanting acceptance from society. It ended up being a film full of missed opportunities. The acting was fair to middling for most of the cast and the two leads(Seth and Gabriel) were definitely pretty, but the director missed the point. The metaphor of wolves as gay men was far too obvious. There was no subtlety in this film and while it seemed that the cast had a good time making the movie, it ended up barely watchable. The wolf motif was creative, but the fluffy tails were a bit much, as were the full length fur coats. The film seemed to be trying far too hard to have a moral and forgot to entertain the audience. So, the moral of this review is, skip the Wolves of Kromer and, if you want a modern fairy tale done right, try Beautiful Thing instead.
Tupper26 I really enjoyed the allegory and parallels between gays and wolves. It provided a wealth of intelligent, sensual comparisons to comment on sexuality and greed without being overtly crass.And Gabriel, played by James Layton, is just plain irrresistable. *woof*
deeharris196 you know how sometimes you go and see a film, and you've got no idea what to expect, but something about it just grabs you and makes you watch it? well this film grabbed me, and i have to say, i'm so glad it did because i LOVED this movie. it's sexy, funny and SO clever, and has beautiful guys dressed up in wolf suits and falling in and out of love, and it's beautiful!!! okay, so the guy who plays the dad is a bit ropey, but the two wolves are gorgeous - they could bite me anyday! - and the old maids are just brilliant. so if you want something different, i seriously recommend this - but be warned - it's NOT scary (but it is funny, sweet and really sad too, so it doesn't matter!)
