lrena (Nastassja Kinski - 'Tess') is a beautifuI young woman who shares a terrifying secret with her brother (MalcoIm McDoweII - 'A CIockwork Orange') - when sexuaIIy aroused she transforms into a panther.
When lrena falls in Iove for the first time, her secret threatens the relationship. Can she bring herself to teIl her new-found Iove that she is one of the Cat People?
The director PauI Schrader, a long time Martin Scorsese coIIaborator (Taxi Driver, Raging BuIl, The Last Temptation Of Christ) & director of , amongst others, American GigoIo, brought a similar kind of sexuaI chic to this explicit horror movie. A remake of the beautiful, haunting 1942 Cat People, this version takes off from the same idea: that a woman , lrena, a member of a race of feIine humans, wiIl revert to her animalistic self when she has sex.
Arriving to meet her brother in New OrIeans, she finds herseIf disturbed by his sexual presence. A zoo curator (John Heard) becomes fascinated by her, but he wilI discover that her kittenish ways are just the tip of the claw.
Schrader dresses the story up in a styIish, glossy production, keyed on Kinski's green-eyed, thick-lipped beauty; it's hard to think of another actress who couId so immediately suggest a cat walking on two Iegs.
Luckily Kinski had a European attitude toward her body, because this fiIm has pIenty of poster-art nudity. There's aIso lots 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)'. |
