Gunilla Söderström

A filmed stage production of the story of Pelle Svanslös, the cat who lost his tail as a kitten, and his interactions with all the other cats in the neighbourhood.

This lavish, cinematic realisation of Stravinsky's neo-classic masterpiece, performed in English, is filmed both in studio and on location. The imaginative richness in the music is complemented by costumes and sets which are, by turn, exquisitely garish and darkly grotesque to intoxicating effect.
