Cat Sticks

About This Movie

So, 'Cat Sticks' is this evocative piece set in Calcutta, drenched in a constant rain that mirrors the characters' turmoil. The film dives deep into the underbelly of addiction, showcasing a range of individuals caught in their own struggles, all while chasing that elusive high. There's a raw, gritty feel to it—almost documentary-like in its authenticity. The pacing feels almost languid at times, creating a palpable tension as these characters wander through the night. Performances are striking; you can truly feel their desperation and, oddly enough, a strange longing for connection, even amidst the chaos. The practical effects are minimal, but they enhance the realism, making it all the more haunting. It's a unique exploration of addiction and the human condition.
