I am no authority on the subject, mind you, but as far as I'm concerned and in my humble opinion I'd say that this is, without doubt, the greatest film about cat renting I have seen in my short life.

It's kind of like if The Trial was about a man trying to return a cat. Wonderful images with an oppressive atmosphere.

A surrealist tribute to Kafka. A man rents a cat, but when he tries to return it, the cat rental shop has vanished. What follows is an epic struggle to correct the situation. Though not based on any Kafka story, all the familiar themes are there: paranoia, alienation, excessive bureaucracy, confusing architecture, uncomfortable self-awareness, and the odd rhythms mimic Kafka's prose. A couple of the more random elements were a little unnecessary, but other than that I was bowled over.
