The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat

The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat

"I've Come a Long Way, Baby!"

197476 min5.1 / 10

A surreal, drug-fueled animated satire that uses Fritz's alternate lives to skewer 1970s politics, sexuality, and social hypocrisy with deliberately provocative, often crude humor.

Fritz, now married and a father, is desperate to escape the domestic hell he now finds himself in. Lighting up a joint, he begins to dream about his eight other lives, hoping to find one to provide a pleasant distraction. The drug-induced journeys he takes include spells as an astronaut, Hitler's psychiatrist, a courier travelling in hostile territory during a race war, and as a pupil of an Indian guru in the sewers of New York.
