Of Cats and Mice is a unique documentary that dives deep into Art Spiegelman's life and work surrounding 'Maus.' The film captures his reflections on the Holocaust and the complexities of memory, intertwined with his father’s harrowing experiences. There’s this raw, almost intimate atmosphere as Spiegelman walks through Auschwitz with his wife, which draws you in but also leaves a lingering heaviness. The pacing is contemplative, allowing moments of silence to resonate. It’s fascinating to see how Spiegelman's art transforms painful history into a powerful narrative. The visuals are striking, and the practical effects are minimal, which puts the focus squarely on the storytelling and interviews. It stands out not just for its subject matter but for its approach to a very personal and collective trauma.
