The Cat's Mill

About This Movie

The Cat's Mill is one of those intriguing pieces of Latvian animation that feels almost otherworldly. The story follows a white cat who runs a mill, but everything takes a turn when a black cat and the devil intervene, stealing not just the mill but the very essence of his life. It has this whimsical yet dark atmosphere that really sets it apart from more mainstream family animations. The pacing is rather unique; it meanders in a way that allows for moments of reflection, making you really digest the themes of loss and resilience. The animation style is distinctive, using practical effects that have a certain charm, and the characters bring a quirky vibrancy that stays with you. It’s definitely an odd gem in the animation landscape.
