Blues for a Cat

synopsis

An adaptation of Boris Vian’s short story Blues for a Black Cat, set against the backdrop of Pilsen’s suburbs in the grey days of the 1980s. The film transports the fantastical characters, who represent the decadent Parisian elite, into the grotesque world of normalisation and intellectual circles in local pubs.
