Anselmi: The Young Werewolf

2014 · 80 min Drama Fantasy
7.8 / 10 · TMDB

Anselmi, a teenage werewolf, conceals his true nature within the confines of an ordinary Finnish school. His life is a precarious balance between algebra homework and suppressing sudden metamorphoses, between classroom camaraderie and the ancient call of the wilderness. The film uses fantasy as a potent metaphor for adolescence, where the first awkward signs of puberty hint at a far more profound and terrifying change. The landscape of grey concrete suburbs and endless pine forests frames his internal struggle, a quiet drama of identity unfolding under the Nordic sky.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This is a film that trades Hollywood spectacle for a raw, intimate portrait of teenage alienation. Its power lies in the quiet moments, the long takes of stark landscapes that mirror the protagonist's turmoil.

What lingers after the screen fades is a melancholic fable about the monsters we carry within. It’s a slow-burn character study where fantasy elements underscore a deeply human story of identity. — MovieFinder Editorial

Best Watched

The damp chill of a pine forest, the fluorescent glare of a classroom, the profound solitude of a body betraying itself.
