The Rabbi's Cat by Joann Sfar5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() With his newfound language, the cat begins to question whether he is Jewish like the rabbi. It is possible to find the cat as annoying as the parrot, but stay with the film. The cat is now a philosopher overflowing with derisive humor, irony and occasionally, a rare gentleness. ![]() Miraculously, the cat has the gift of speech, but lies about killing the bird. Soon the cat grows weary of the parrot’s constant screeching and eats the parrot. It is an imaginative and artistic work about a family in 1920s-1930s Algeria-the 60 year old widowed Rabbi Sfar (Maurice Benichou-voice), his fetching daughter Zlabya (Hafsia Herzi-voice) their annoying squawky parrot (Olivier Broche-voice) and their super- intelligent cat (Francois Morel-voice). The charming animated film, winner of the César Award for the best animated feature, “The Rabbi’s Cat,” is based on the “The Rabbi’s Cat” comic novels by Joann Sfar (“Little Vampire” comic novel and the film “Gainsborough”). Voices: Francois Morel, Maurice Benichou, Hafsia Herzi, Francois Damiens The Rabbi’s Cat Animated film by Joann Sfar and Antoine Delesvaux ![]()
