A Cat in Paris  A Cat in Paris - Un Vie de Chat EFA Nominated Animated Feature Category |

French Title: Un Vie De Chat.
Jeanne is on edge. Not only must she must arrest the cat burglar
responsible for numerous jewelry thefts, but she also has to oversee
the surveillance of the Colossus of Nairobi, a giant statue coveted
by public enemy number one, Victor Costa. The gangster is also
responsible for the death of a police officer, Jeanne’s husband
and Zoé’s father. Since this drama, the little girl
has withdrawn into silence and hasn’t uttered a word. Events will escalate the night that Zoé comes across Costa and his gang by surprise. A chase ensues which continues until dawn and will lead the characters to cross paths, and to help or fight each other, all the way to the rooftops of Notre-Dame.
No synopsis, however, can really do justice to the way in which the superb (definitely Non-Disneyesque) animation gives the dark tale a softness... a gentle feel as good truimphs over evil. As a live action movie, this would be a very different film indeed. As an animated feature, it is, very definitely, a kids movie of some note. A Cat in Paris has been nominated for an award in the forthcoming
European Films Awards... it will be interesting to see if the
European Academy members agree.
