THE RABBI’S CAT (Le Chat du Rabbin)

Joann Sfar and Antoine Delesvaux,  2011, 90 min.

Event Location: Low Plaza Steps

This animated film is set in Algiers in the 1920s. Rabbi Sfar has more than one problem. His beautiful daughter Zlabya is transforming into a teenager, and even worse, his parrot-killing cat has just started talking. The Rabbi’s life grows all the more complicated when a box arrives from Russia with a painter inside. Ultimately Rabbi Sfar ends up on a quest for a hidden tribe and its mythical city of origin in Africa.
