Review of Cat People (1982) by Jack Kroll for Newsweek — 27 Aug 1997
Cat People moves back and forth between its mythic and realistic levels, held together primarily by the strength of Kinski's performance and John Heard's obsession. Kinski is something. She never overacts in this movie, never steps wrong, never seems ridiculous; she just steps onscreen and convincingly underplays a leopard.
Heard also is good.
