    A challenging film, but one that is really worth your time if you are a cinema lover. Trying to sum up this film would be quite a difficult task. You could call it a political, pop-art, existential exploration of history and art, human consciousness, and reality. The narrator's voice is really haunting, probably the best narration in a film I have ever seen. 12 years 5 months ago

    Difficult movie... Both boring and interesting: I found some commentaries very intelligent, others both snobish and empty (pretentious).
    The narration in French is poorly audible, unfortunately, and too fast. This spoils the good moments, the profound ones, which would deserve clear narration and a slower rythm, to allow correct assimilation.

    This film is about cats and owls. people will tell you it's an exploration of ..... Nope, cats and owls. there's some filler between the shots of cats and owls, but you want to focus on the cats, or the owls, up to you. 8 years 10 months ago
