KRAUT FILM presents a Japanese experimental feature NEKO-MIMI［猫耳］(HD version) by Jun Kurosawa.

NEKO-MIMI is a masterpiece of 1990s Japanese cinema. Experimental film in which three girls and one boy lead playful lives. Just as a game, in which the course is determined from beginning to end by certain rules, can be played time and again, their lives are also endless repetition. Reflecting on the hidden puzzle in this film may be the same as reflecting on the essence of cinema. KRAUT FILM presents a new HD-restored version from the 16mm print.

Their description of a “simulated method of inner and outer transformation” can only go so far in conveying the irresistible effect of their wry and often confoundingly labyrinthine creations.
