Cat People
Paul Schrader, USA, 1982o
After years of separation, Irina and her minister brother, Paul, reunite in New Orleans. When zoologists capture a wild panther, Irina is drawn to the cat - and the zoo curator is drawn to her. Soon, Irina's brother will have to reveal the family secret: that when sexually aroused, they turn into predatory jungle cats.
Das ist der Stoff, aus dem kühne Mythen gestrickt werden – das Perverse, das Glorreiche und das Lachhafte kombinierend. Das Kino wurde erfunden, um solche Geschichten zu erzählen. Schraders Cat People (…) macht Spass, wie es Horrorfilme tun sollen: Er ist völlig unglaubwürdig zwischen all jenen Momenten, in denen er einem das Popcorn aus dem Leib schreckt.
