Fritz The Cat
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Ralph Bakshi
1972 / 78min / 35mm
The first animated feature to earn an X rating and the debut feature of the doyen of American alternative animation, Bakshi’s full-length cartoon depicts the adventures of Robert Crumb’s breakout underground comix creation, a feline with an insatiable appetite for grass and ass on the run in New York City. A hit with campus film societies and the midnight movies crowd, Bakshi’s cheerfully profane film made a live-wire connection with the countercultural sentiments of the day, not least in its depiction of the police as anthropomorphic swine. “A gloriously funny, brilliantly pointed, and superbly executed entertainment.”—New York Magazine
