In an alternate time-line where scientific progress stalled in La Belle Époque, a young woman and her talking cat search for the secret of immortality, only to find themselves pursued by both the police and agents of mysterious organisation. The film is fun and imaginative with some excellent steam-punk imagery. The story/script is good (other than a predictable 'twist' at the end that a more clever script would have made less obvious), the voice cast in the English version I watched fine, and the style, adapted from French artist Jacques Tardi is was a refreshing change from the anime look that has become so common. There are lots of clever details in the background, so the film is worth paying attention to (or watching a second time).
