• ABOUT THE FILM

The Cassandra Cat
(Až přijde kocour, dir. Vojtěch Jasný, 105 minutes, Czechoslovakia, 1963),

New Restoration Courtesy of Janus Films!

“In this modern-day fairy tale and rediscovered Czech New Wave cult classic, an ordinary Bohemian village is visited by a magician (Jan Werich), his beautiful assistant Diana (Emília Vásáryová), and a magic cat (wearing sunglasses) with the power to reveal people in colors that indicate their true natures: yellow for the unfaithful, purple for liars, red for lovers like Robert (Vlastimil Brodský), a bighearted school teacher whose independence of thought places him at odds with the town's conservative authorities. When the cat reveals the villagers as they really are and the town descends into whimsical chaos, humorless school principal Karel (Jiří Sovák) vows to hunt down the feline and put an end to its anarchic reign. Ahead of its time in experimenting with stylized color and extended political metaphor, The Cassandra Cat is director Vojtěch Jasný's triumphant excursion into fantasy as a mirror of real-life social divisions and hypocrisies.” (Synopsis courtesy of Janus Films)

Whimsical, heartwarming, colorfully kaleidoscopic and absolutely not to be missed!
