This one-of-a-kind domestic drama marks the arrival of a refreshing talent in Swiss-born filmmaker Ramon Zurcher. He describes his debut as ‘a horror film without any horror,’ and by carefully choregraphing the movements of an extended family within a Berlin apartment The Strange Little Cat spins the everyday into something otherworldly. The characters are all fascinated by the world around them, researching spinning bottles, or the way orange peel falls to the ground, or what happens when you touch a stranger’s foot in the cinema. It sounds odd, and it is – but in a good way.
