Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Kirpianuscus for fans of cats and jazz and poetry - an inspired choice. because it is one of short films who seems be a drop of perfume. nothing more. nothing new. a voice. animation. a story - old and dark, few mystery crumbs and a lovely story about a circle of music, decadence and solidarity. result - nice entertainment. not memorable but nice. and this could be a precious virtue. for remind a blue state and the flavor of poetry.
Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "The Cat Piano" is an Australian, 8.5-minute short film from 7 years ago and the star here is clearly the narrator, Australian (not a coincidence for sure) musician Nick Cave. Writer and director Ari Gibson and Eddie White have not really been too prolific before or after their probably most famous work, this animated short film here. Sadly, I did not enjoy it too much in terms of the pretentious poem we hear or the all-over-the-place animation we see. Cave's voice adds a nicely atmospheric touch to it, but that really cannot make-up for the massive flaws in writing here. If you still enjoyed it, let me recommend you the German animated feature film "Felidae", which reminded me a bit of it. I do not recommend "The Cat Piano". Thumbs down.
