English Translation: Attack on a Bakery

Directed by: Naoto Yamakawa

Synopsis: Two hungry young Japanese men succumb to evil and set out to attack a bakery owner, justifying their actions with political gibberish in this hilarious satire.

Purr Blur: When they reach the bakery a woman is already there. They wait for her to leave but she is taking forever to choose which baked goods she wants, pondering philosophically between croissants and melon pan. A three way split screen appears, showing the woman in the bakeryin the middle with the same actress in a lovely garden scene on one side and as a homeless tramp on the other. A tabby and white bobtail cat walks through the garden scene then appears in the homeless scene as the woman picks the kitty up.

Final Mewsings: Cats are comfortable across all social statuses.

Many thanks to Wahrhaftig for letting us know about the cat in this short film.
