Quick Answer

What is The Wild Pussycat about?

The Wild Pussycat is a 1969 Greek crime thriller directed by Dimis Dadiras about a woman who seeks revenge against the pimp responsible for her sister's tragic death.

Programmer's Pick

Only in Greek giallo could a white cat, a leather-clad avenger, and a sadistic pimp collide in a fever dream of sex, voyeurism, and retribution. Dimis Dadiras isn't coy: The Wild Pussycat is raw, unvarnished, and defiantly unsentimental about power and payback.

In this atmospheric blend of exploitation, giallo, and revenge, the film explores the disturbing power dynamics between predator and prey.
