Residents care for them; others disturbed by the mess
Synopsis
An ample cat colony inhabits the Shinto shrine.
Filmmaker Kazuhiro Soda observes their coexistence
The phrase "non-human animals" – wokeism comes to the animal kingdom!
However, even non-fans of felines are likely to be enchanted by the cats inhabiting the Shinto shrine in a small Japanese coastal town
But director Kazuhiro Sôda was an engaging chap, taking a selfie with the audience – which distracted from his unpromising assertion that he worked without doing any research…It is, of course, unquestionable that dogs are superior to cats.
We see them being fed by well-wishers, being caught to be 'fixed', sharing food with their kittens, etc
But it is not all cats: humans feature as well, in sequences such as an endless committee meeting and clearing up after a typhoon.The problem with making an 'observational film' of this sort is the small likelihood that people with a camera pointed at them actually behave as they normally do – so how much does the documentary-maker change by the mere fact of their presence?
As a result, can we really say what we see is accurate?
But in its presentation of a slice of Japanese life, the film is at least worth watching once.
