I Am a Cat (1975)

This film is adapted from Japanese writer Natsume Shushi's novel of the same name. It incisively and vividly reflected the thought and life of the middle and small bourgeoisie in Japan at the beginning of the 20th century, and sharply exposed and criticized the "civilized" capitalist society of Meiji. This work takes the cat of a poor teacher's family as the protagonist and observes human psychology from the perspective of this anthropomorphic cat. This is a cat that is good at thinking, knowledgeable, full of justice and literati, but has not learned to catch mice until his death.
