The Nine Lives of Tomas Katz is a nearly indecipherable surrealist madcap odyssey through the streets of London on the day of the apocalypse where our titular fellow emerges from a hole in the ground and quickly takes control of the bodies of the people he meets on his journey. Why? I honestly don't know! Does it matter though? It's one of the strangest cinematic spectacles I've seen in a long time, imbued with the quirky spirit of low-budget high-concept independent filmmaking with little to no creative restraint. Like a much better version of The Bed Sitting Room, replete with world destruction, fascination with the London Underground, and morbidly absurd comical sensibilities that eschew logic in favour of whimsy.
