Neko Atsume House - Japan Cuts 2017

Neko Atsume House
ねこあつめの家 (Neko Atsume no Ie)
FEATURE SLATE
EAST COAST PREMIERE
Novelist Masaru Sakumoto (Atsushi Ito) is in a professional rut. Once a celebrated hotshot in the literary world, he is now forced to churn out a zombie-themed serial novel to make ends meet. Panicked by feelings of failure, he seeks out an old house in the countryside to find inspiration and jumpstart his creativity. Once he settles in, however, he notices that he has some curious, whiskered neighbors. Initially annoyed, he eventually finds the battle to attract their attention oddly satisfying. Based on the popular smartphone game, Neko Atsume House uses its very simple premise to create an entirely unexpected and creative comedic drama about artistic integrity and personal fulfillment—with plenty of kawaii cats!
“Delightful, blood-pressure-lowering.” —Mark Schilling, The Japan Times
