Details: Product Description Nastassia Kinski stars as Irena, a beautiful young woman on the bridge of sexuality; she discovers love for the first time only to find that the explosive experience brings with it tragic consequences. The tremendous passion of this girl's first romantic love is so strong, however, it bypasses the chaos around her - including her brother's (Malcolm McDowell) extraordinary demands - as it pushes her on to her own bizarre destiny. With a style as timeless as myth, Cat People is an erotic fantasy of the passion and terror that surround this girl's first love. Desire…passion…blood, her lust transforms her into one of the Cat People. Amazon.ca Remake of a classic fantasy film by Jacques Tourneur, with Simone Simon in the title role, La Féline could have been just a good B series without the personality of its director, Paul Schrader. Screenwriter by Martin Scorsese – Taxi Driver, Open grave – or Brian de Palma – Obsession – this inveterate cinephile – author of a thesis on Dreyer, Bresson and Ozu – went on to direct in 1978 with a social comedy, Blue Collar, followed by the huge success American Gigolo. An uneven work ensues, from which float Light Sleeper, Affliction and Mishima. The plot of La Féline allows Paul Schrader to breathe all his formal and thematic obsessions: his fascination for the death drives at work in the sexual act, his curiosity for the outbreaks of violence, his taste for parables about redemption and grace, so many elements brilliantly condensed in the 4th film by the screenwriter of Raging Bull. It must be said that he managed to capture the animality of Nastassja Kinski as a person, who turns out to be just as sensual as feline as a teenager discovering herself, her destiny, and who feels her first erotic impulses dawning. . And even if the typically eighties music of Giorgio Moroder may seem intrusive and Schrader's touch a little heavy where the original remained mysterious and poetic, this erotic dream about our animal part deserves a wide-eyed viewing. open. -- Sylvain Lefort Special Features Cat People: An Intimate Portrait Feature Commentary with Director Paul Schrader On the Set with the Director Paul Schrader Special Makeup Effects by Tom Burman Cat People Matte Paintings Filmmaker Robert Wise on the Producer of the Original Cat People, Val Lewton Production Photographs Theatrical Trailer Production Ratings Recommendations
