The Rabbi's Cat
Directed by Joann Sfar, Antoine Delesvaux
Produced by TF1 Droits Audiovisuels, CinéCinéma
A whimsical, visually rich animated fable that blends philosophical humor with serious themes of religious identity, cultural conflict, and belonging in colonial North Africa.
The story of a rabbi and his talking cat, a sharp-tongued feline philosopher brimming with scathing humor and a less than pure love for the rabbi's teenage daughter.
