About This Movie

Empire of Cats dives deep into the peculiar relationship between Russians and their feline companions. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing viewers to soak in the myriad of cat cultures across the vast landscapes of Russia. There’s a raw, almost intimate tone that really pulls you in—people share their stories about how cats have shaped their lives, from city apartments to rural homes. The cinematography is quite striking, capturing both the beauty and the strangeness of these creatures.
