FilmCentral: 'The Rabbi's Cat'

Series: FilmCentral

Your KCPL account gives you access to thousands of movies; films to check out from our Central Vault collection as well as to stream from Kanopy and hoopla. Our staff, Cullen and James, will announce a movie to discuss at the beginning of each month. You’ll have a few weeks to watch the movie. Then, on the third Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m., we will meet on ZOOM and discuss. You can pop your own popcorn, wear your fuzzy slippers (or your dinner jacket) and talk cinema. See you at the movies!

Based on the best-selling graphic novel by Joann Sfar and brought to life with vibrant hand-drawn animation, The Rabbi's Cat tells the story of a rabbi and his talking cat – a sharp-tongued feline philosopher brimming with scathing humor and love for the rabbi’s rebellious teenage daughter. Rich with the colors, textures, flavors and music of Mediterranean Africa, this thoughtful and irreverent film embarks on a cross continent adventure from the tiled terraces, fountains, quays and cafes of colonial Algiers to Maghrebi tent camps, dusty trading outposts, and deep blue Saharan nights in search of a lost Ethiopian city.
