Vinch Slat writer on mov iks Wolf rated r a aaa aaa a a a a a a must sea Worth your time passable entertainment com info soon to a video outlet near you and you can wait comp Dod from wira reports. Star ratings by Chuck Vlinch. In an absolutely Sublime bit of cast ing Jack Nicholson is a howl As the latest film descendant of Lawrence Talbot in this eerie and delightful  the Werewolf legend. Yet its inaccurate to Label this a a monster Quot movie in the usual sense because this is a very modern fable that does no to quite fit into the genre in the Way that the seminal Lon Chaney or. Classic the wolfman docs. Director Mike Nichols and writers Jim Harrison and Wesley Strick set out to try something different Here. This is a thinking person s monster movie in that its creators Are less interested in exploring the Werewolf legend itself than in using that legend As a metaphor for climbing the corporate ladder. To that end the filmmakers could n o t have selected a be the r b acid Rop than the close knit incestuous world of big time Book publish ing which uses Rumor and innuendo As its Lifeblood. Nicholson is will  editor in chief of a Large new York publishing House. Although Well respected will is a fading Light who has grown weary of the continual fight to guard his flanks against ambitious Young turks like rising Star Stewart Swinton James Spader at his oily unctuous Best its an open secret that Swinton is schmoozing the new owner of the publishing House business tycoon Raymond Alden Christopher Plummer a to push will out and give him the top editor s Job. And will does no to seem Able to Muster the Energy to save Bis career. But suddenly he a tossing away his bifocals and disrobing his startled wife Kate Nelligan with his Teeth. A you animal a she chuckles. Little does she know that the recent nip on the hand that will received from a Wolf he hit on a lonely stretch of Vermont Road is prompting profound changes in her husband. He can jump 20 feet from a standing Start. He can smell the liquor on a colleagues breath at 20 paces. He can hear whispered conversations three floors away. And he a becoming somewhat hairier. Quot i feel us Good Quot he says with that trademark Nicholson Grin. Like the Vampire legend the Werewolf myth has always had an undercurrent of sexual longing. So its no Surprise that will a new an Imal Magne t i so soon has him tumbling into a relationship with a1 Den s Beautiful jaded daughter Laura Michelle Pfeiff Erthe special effects take hold in the late scenes but Nicholson keeps the film from veering into parody by staying True to the innate humanity of his character. That a easy for him to do since he needs Little makeup enhancement to become a Man Wolf. Wilh his naturally Lupine features he just has to lower his head and peer out from under those shaggy brows. His performance very controlled and nuanced is a Fine reminder of his great Range As an actor Pfeiffer also anchors the late scenes by deftly balancing Laura a growing fear of and attraction to the Werewolf. Her character is thinly drawn but she uses her Cool enigmatic Grace to make this Beauty and the beast Jove Story wholly believable. Nichols helps himself on that score by minimizing the blood and Gore a although the relative Scarcity of those scenes makes them All the More jarring. With a goosebumps Climax and a delicious twist ending Wolf is a seductive and witty treatise on How close we should get to the animal within us. Full of mood but surprisingly Light deliberate but never Boring its a four Star Triumph. 12 sunday june 26, 1994
