Last night I went down to the Alternative Film Series at Dorman Street Saloon with friends Grant, Courtney and Michael. We arrived late, but just in time to catch what just may be the strangest movie any of us had ever seen. KatteManden (The Cat Man), directed by Danish filmmaker Mads Feldballe. The film's website describes the film as "a special man with a very special problem searches for love in a world less ordinary." Basically a loner starts finding himself attracted to cats (yes, sexually) after people porn leaves him unsatisfied. As the attraction grows stronger he slowly begins turning into a cat himself (much like Teen Wolf) until he finally has an "encounter" with an alley cat that transforms him forever. This "encounter" is unbelievable. At one point Grant leaned over to me and asked, "What is this? Kitty porn?" I usually love the Danes and their crazy sensibilities (Thomas Vinterberg's Festen is one of my favorite flicks), but even after having a few beers, I couldn't really say that I enjoyed this movie. Upon further consideration, however, it's not as bad as the two-thumbs down I'm giving it in the picture; I think it's growing on me. If you're feeling inspired, you can catch the trailer on Feldballe's website.
