Two robbers hold up a bank and its employees demanding 3 million marks for their ransom. The police plot to storm the bank but are unaware the robbers have an accomplice on the outside, anticipating their every move. Genre master Dominik Graf specialised in crime films and The Cat is one of his greatest. A heist film of the highest order, it grabs you from its opening scenes and doesn’t let go. Winner of Best Direction at the German Film Awards, The Cat is an undiscovered treasure and Radiance Films is proud to present it on Blu-ray for the first time outside Germany.

Dominik Graf is a terrific filmmaker and any film by him is always worth a blind buy.

The only two Graf films I've seen are this and The Invincibles. The latter did not convince me of the exalted status he has in certain corners, but The Cat is a very good film. A muscular, nasty little piece of genre filmmaking. Fantastically paced, and if memory serves there's a thread of sexual humiliation running through it that adds to the sweaty, sordid atmosphere. Looking forward to revisiting it with a new subtitle translation, which it definitely needed (The Invincibles even more so).
