About The Cat in the Closet
The Fan family was already not very good at expressing love. After the loss of their son Wei, they became more emotionally trapped. Then, Lei-Ya, the mother, started to lavishly devote her time on feeding street cats. Qing, the daughter, moved out and rarely came home anymore. Yan-Ming, the father, tried to pretend that nothing happened, and treated everyone around him nicely. Eight years on, the three members of this family, each bearing disappointment and anxiety, gathered up in their old home. The otherwise happy reunion escalated, and they must finally face the old sorrow and pain.
Directed by Tseng Ying-ting, The Cat in the Closet leans on a strong ensemble — Eleven Yao, Fu Meng-po, Yun Chung-Yueh — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2017.
