The Cat in the Bag depicts the conflict between a young Quebecois couple whose existential angst serves as both backdrop and symbol of Quebecois society. The film addresses Quebeckers’ political coming-of-age, as viewed by a filmmaker enamoured with concepts of the ideal and the absolute. The soundtrack features compositions by jazz legend John Coltrane.

    Wonderful music by John Coltrane Quartet. Loved seeing downtown Montreal in 1964 and the countryside later on in the movie.

    Finally after watching Le Chat dans le Sac, I understand why this film has just a legendary reputation and why it is one of the most influential film in Quebec.
