If you loved The National Anthem Kimigayo, try The Black Cat
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
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.
