The Nine Lives of Fritz The Cat
1974, 77 minutes, Rated R
That infamous cat and his twisted life are back! Staying within the tradition set by the audacious and racy Fritz The Cat, director/co-writer Robert Taylor takes Robert Crumb's way-cool feline character from the boundary-pushing 60's to the harsh realities of Vietnam, racial riots and Watergate of the 1970's in a special ripe with "pure silliness (and a) hip story-telling style" (Variety)
Fritz has got the post-college blued...he's married to a mouthy wife who berates him constantly, and he's out of work and on unemployment! To escape his sad, nagging reality, Fritz launches himself into a psychedelic haze with a mind-blowing cat-nip that takes him to his eight other lives. There, he lives out fantasies as an out-of-world astronaut, an aide to President Kissinger and worse....an orderly to Hitler!
But as his star-crossed hallucinations put him on a collision course with reality, Fritz becomes a casualty just waiting to happen!
