Do not shy away from the difficult notes. Here are the five eras this movie must explain, not just depict.

Cat People (1942)

When Reality Slides
Reality—however you define it (and most define it as a deeply “multi-layered onion,” to borrow from Jim Goad)—cannot be denied having its own hypnotic, imprisoning power.
