Based on the best-selling graphic novel by Joann Sfar\, &quo t\;The Rabbi&rsquo\;s Cat"\; tells the story of a rabbi and his talking cat &ndash\; a sharp-tongued feline philosopher brimming with scathing hum or and a less than pure love for the rabbi&rsquo\;s voluptuous teenage daug hter. \;
\nAlgeria in the 1930s is an intersection of Jewish\, A rab and French culture. A cat belonging to a widowed rabbi and his beautifu l daughter\, Zlabya\, eats the family parrot and miraculously gains the abi lity to speak. Along with the power of speech comes unparalleled sardonic w it\, and the cat &ndash\; and filmmaker Sfar &ndash\; spare no group or ind ividual as they skewer faith\, tradition and authority in a provocative exp loration of (among other things) God\, lust\, death\, phrenology\, religiou s intolerance\, interspecies love\, and the search for truth. Rich with the colors\, textures\, flavors and music of Mediterranean Africa\, the film e mbarks 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 .
