In this modern-day fairy tale and rediscovered Czech New Wave cult classic, an ordinary Bohemian village is visited by a magician, his beautiful assistant, and a magic cat with the power to reveal people in colors that indicate their true natures. Ahead of its time in experimenting with stylized color and extended political metaphor, The Cassandra Cat is a triumphant excursion into fantasy as a mirror of real-life social divisions and hypocrisies. – Janus Films
