If you loved The National Anthem Kimigayo, try The Black Cat
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Noburô Ôfuji, and they sit in Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to The National Anthem Kimigayo, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Black Cat is
Soviet-era Japanese cut-outs groove with pre-code jazz a black cat entertains a mouse couple before morphing into a surreal shadow show. Upstaged by a salacious, stroboscopic dream ballet the cat vanishes into the inkwell. Silent cinema’s final cat reel trips into sound.
