Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is peak late-2000s Russian absurdist cinema, when directors like Konstantinopolsky were experimenting with nonlinear storytelling that Western audiences wouldn't discover until years later.
The film's structure directly mirrors its title—'Pussycat' refers to a seemingly random neighborhood stray that appears in multiple stories before the final revelation of its significance.
