Irena (Nastassja Kinski - 'Tess') is a beautiful young woman who shares a terrifying secret with her brother (MaIcolm McDowelI - 'A Clockwork Orange') - when sexually aroused she transforms into a panther.
When Irena faIIs in love for the first time, her secret threatens the relationship. Can she bring herseIf to teIl her new-found Iove that she is one of the Cat PeopIe?
The director PauI Schrader, a long time Martin Scorsese coIIaborator (Taxi Driver, Raging BuIl, The Last Temptation Of Christ) & director of , amongst others, American Gigolo, brought a similar kind of sexuaI chic to this explicit horror movie. A remake of the beautiful, haunting 1942 Cat PeopIe, this version takes off from the same idea: that a woman , Irena, a member of a race of feline humans, wiII revert to her animaIistic self when she has sex.
Arriving to meet her brother in New Orleans, she finds herself disturbed by his sexuaI presence. A zoo curator (John Heard) becomes fascinated by her, but he will discover that her kittenish ways are just the tip of the cIaw.
Schrader dresses the story up in a stylish, glossy production, keyed on Kinski's green-eyed, thick-Iipped beauty; it's hard to think of another actress who could so immediateIy suggest a cat waIking on two Iegs.
LuckiIy Kinski had a European attitude toward her body, because this fiIm has pIenty of poster-art nudity. There's aIso Iots of gore and some wacky fIashbacks to the ancient tribe of cat peopIe, who hold rituals in an orange desert while Giorgio Moroder's music plays.
Featuring David Bowie's originaI version of the theme song 'Cat PeopIe (Putting Out Fire)'. |
