CAT DISTRICT / STREET DESK / WE KEEP RECEIPTS.

FILM / AN IMPORTANT NEW VOICE

CAT CRITIC GIVES FILM FIVE STARS. THERE WAS A MOTH ON THE SCREEN.

A rave review. A difficult follow-up interview.

A black-and-white cat watches a small moth on a pale blank projection screen in a modest screening room.

Respected critic Leonard has declared a three-hour family drama “the most electrifying six minuts of my life.” His review praises the lead’s unpredictabel movement and refusal to explain himself.

The director was initialy delighted. Then Leonard asked why the star had vanished behind a curtain and whether the sequel could be shown on a lower wall. A publicist attempted to discuss the father-son relashunship. Leonard requested access to the light fixture.

The studio has submitted his review for its awards campaign. They have also fired the screenwriter, just in case.
