Nakadai is an English teacher at a local school. His home life is almost disastrous, with a ditzy (but attractive) wife, three young children, a loud school nearby thatâ€™s controlled by a corrupt businessman he loathes, and frequent visits from layabout friends. And the grey-furred, green-eyed cat!

The feline aspect is an especially winning part of the film, though not the focus. Sure those susceptible to some whiskers and such will be satiated by the throwaway shots of the cat, but the film is pretty good otherwise, as well. Nakadaiâ€™s constant disbelief at everything around him is pure brilliance. Baseballs come flying across the fence from the school. Not just a stray one or two, but ball after ball. Nakadai blows a fuse and then ends up humiliated. Suddenly the actor is delivering pathos to this grumpy middle-aged man. The comedy is still there, but itâ€™s now twinged with a bit of sadness. You realize the film is battling an entire shift in Japan society. Businessmen are corrupt and powerful. Their newfound wealth has lead to unearned snobbishness. And kids just donâ€™t respect their elders. It may not be an entirely unique or profound message, but the point is made.

Letâ€™s get back to the cat, though. Furry little guy. Ichikawa completely plays to the kinds of moments that feline foes will loathe. The cat-friendly viewer smiles when the screen is filled by the whiskered star doing basically nothing except living up to the filmâ€™s title. Sure itâ€™s pandering and the era-specific synthesizer music doesnâ€™t help, but thereâ€™s a quaintness at play that saves these detours from harming the film. The cat is an important element in the movie and he serves as Nakadaiâ€™s companion when not out competing with a larger male for the affections of a female cat. As the film winds down, weâ€™re again left with that tragicomic malaise. Nakadaiâ€™s character has suffered a break-in that Ichikawa delicately plays for humor. The teacher even takes the cat to spend a night away from his quarrelsome wife. Problems also persist at work. Things just arenâ€™t turning out well for him. Silently (unwillingly, you might say) supporting him through it all is the nameless cat. Heâ€™s taken up with the creature just when he feels let down and frustrated with everyone else. Things are necessarily changed for both by the ending, and I donâ€™t want to spell it out here, but itâ€™s unclear whether we should expect the Nakadai character to alter his languid musings or general grumpiness.
