Tenderness of the Wolves: An Appreciation by Stephen Thrower (2015)
*** (out of 4)
Another highly well-made bonus feature from Arrow Video has author Stephen Thrower discussing the controversial Ulli Lommel film TENDERNESS OF THE WOLVES. Thrower starts out talking about some of the controversy and speaking about why the film might not be as popular among horror fans as it should be. From here we get a wide range of topics including the career of Lommel who started off in German cinema creating art before turning to horror and exploitation movies during the 1980s. From here Lommel's video days are discussed including how many are considered among the worst movies ever made. Even though Thrower admits that he hasn't seen these movies, he defends how one filmmaker could create art and then create something awful because it seems some people believe Lommel might not have directed TENDERNESS OF THE WOLVES.
If you're a fan of the film or of Thrower then you'll certainly want to check this featurette out. Clocking in at 41-minutes there's a lot of great discussion here from a wide range of topics. Some of been critical of Thrower for not having see the later day Lommel films but I don't think it's that big of an issue.
