"...beautiful, baroque, erotic and blunt.” - New York Times
Directed by Paul Schrader
Director Paul Schrader’s first feature based on script he didn’t write is neither a straight remake of the 1942 classic directed by Jacques Tourneur nor a straight horror film in its own right. As with its main character, Irena (Nastassja Kinski), and her brother Paul (Malcolm McDowell) who exist between two worlds, human and animal, Cat People stakes out liminal ground between art house and genre filmmaking with an unnerving exploration of desire and obsession.
