The Cat
“A love/hate so devastating it destroys everything...the marriage, the wife, the husband, the house...even the cat”
Drama
Julien Bouin, a former typographist, and his wife Clemence, who used to perform in a circus, hardly talk to each other in their small house, soon to be demolished. His cat Greffier being the only one he still gives affection to, he becomes the object of Clemence's anger.
VIBE
A suffocating portrait of quiet desperation. The film feels heavy with unspoken resentments and the slow decay of a marriage, punctuated only by the fragile bond with a beloved pet. It's a stark, intimate look at loneliness.
