He’s a handsome, charming, intellectual-type who wears Pantera t-shirts. Time.)Īnyway, what’s interesting about the movie is Joann Sfar himself. (But here’s the trailer! What kills me every time in the comic and the movies is the Cat’s line: “I will never be alone because my mistress will die before me.” Chokes me up. The animation is so phenomenally beautiful and suffused with warmth and light that I am even more frustrated that I can’t watch the movie all the way through. Zlabya sounded like a random girl they pulled off the street and the Cat got pretty slapstick screechy at times. Especially Zlabya’s and occasionally the Cat’s. This isn’t a review of the movie, but basically my issue was that I did not like most of the voice actors. I wanted to like the movie more than I did. Sfar’s done a couple movies, Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life in 2010 (?) and a film adaptation of The Rabbi’s Cat in 2011. ![]() Tell me this isn’t the most true and hilarious representation of a cat you’ve ever seen: It’s a warm, critical, wry look at religious and racial issues in Algiers in the 1920s. My favorite comic of his is The Rabbi’s Cat. The only person I love more than Brel and Gainsbourg is Joann Sfar, a French comic artist whose mother was an Ashkenazi Jew from the Ukraine and whose father a Sephardic Jew from Algeria. ![]()
