Mimmo Rosso 2021
Classic Movie Pairing
Cat People (1940)Cat People (1942). A B-movie that rose above its limitations to become a suspense and horror classic.

The first feature produced by Val Lewton, the film is a perfect match for this smooth and imaginative red blend with its own distinctive notes of passion and intrigue.
