THE CAT HAS NINE LIVES

ULA STÖCKL West Germany, 1968

Akin to Agnès Varda and Věra Chytilová, Ula Stöckl saw a wild bouquet of vibrant possibility in the 1960s, and became one of the first feminist directors in West Germany. In her playful, polyphonic film about a quintet of newly independent women, modern femininity is an infectious and lively melody.
