French Cat Existentialist
Cannes, France – – Winner of Wet Cannes Award Describes His Ennui
Henri Deux (2) describes his melancholy in this touching short film that is receiving raves in the art film circuit.
Many years ago, Henri was at the height of his fame – with his visage immortalized in the famous Tournée du Chat Noir poster. These days though, Henri sadly languishes in an apartment – tormented by his past and by his other roomies; a dim white cat, two oblivious budgies and a grey rat.
“I wake to the same tedium” Henri says heartbreakingly, “Immortalized on the wall, forgotten on the floor.”
