Long film in competition: The Rabbi’s cat (Le Chat du Rabbin):

Origin: France.
Length: 90m
Directed by Antoine Delesvaux & Joann Sfar.

I also managed to squeeze in a feature film today. The Rabbi’s cat turned out to be a really pleasant surprise. I doubt it will get a major international release, so make sure you look for the Blu-ray/DVD later this year.

My verdict: * * * * * * * 7 stars.

That’s it for today. See you all tomorrow, and remember to subscribe in iTunes!
