Catastrophe!

Catastrophe!

59th TIFF: Greek Premiere

When a little bird suddenly drops dead in its cage, all eyes are on the cat. But as this skillfully choreographed animation demonstrates with a delightfully macabre effect, sometimes even one’s best efforts to put things right only make it all worse.
