The Nine Lives of Tomas Katz is a 2000 Anglo-German black and white surreal comedy.

It has been described as an "avant-garde comedy about the Apocalypse",[1] co-written and directed by Ben Hopkins.

[2] Peter Bradshaw wrote in The Guardian, "a distinctively English, rather than simply British, movie in its loopy, diverting surrealism...Nothing so obvious as a plot is allowed to cramp this movie's style as it swoops weirdly across the dream landscape of London like a demented, dishevelled bird.

"[3] George Perry wrote on BBC Films, "this has to be one of the strangest films of the year, a weird apocalyptic vision shot in the most mundane of London surroundings, with all too obvious budgetary constraints pushed asunder by the sheer energy of the director's imagination.

"[4] The film was the winner of the Evening Standard Best Newcomer Award 2000, for director Ben Hopkins.
