Cat's Cradle

1959 · 6 min
5.8 / 10 · TMDB

Images of two women, two men, and a gray cat form a montage of rapid bits of movement. A woman is in a bedroom, another wears an apron: they work with their hands, occasionally looking up. A man enters a room, a woman smiles. He sits, another man sits and smokes. The cat stretches. There are close-ups of each. The light is dim; a filter accentuates red. A bare foot stands on a satin sheet. A woman disrobes. She pets the cat. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2006.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Cat's Cradle has mixed reviews with a rating of 5.8/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1959. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
