Suruaika

About This Movie

So, 'Suruaika' is an interesting piece of animation that weaves a tale in a rather haunting urban landscape. The city feels alive yet oppressive, with shadows lurking around every corner. Kipu, the main character, really pulls you in, and their bond with Suruaika, this cat that keeps growing, is both whimsical and a bit eerie. It's not just about the visuals, though they’re striking in their own right. The pacing has a languid quality, almost dreamlike, that gives you time to soak in the atmosphere. Themes of companionship and the absurdity of life come through, making it more than just a story about a cat. There’s a certain uniqueness to how it plays with the idea of growth, both literal and metaphorical.
