The Noise of Licking

About This Movie

The Noise of Licking is a curious blend of animation and romance that invites you into its odd little world. The premise is delightfully quirky: we follow a voyeuristic cat, a woman whose affection for plants borders on obsession, and an enigmatic visitor in a fur hat. The animation style is distinctive, with a slightly surreal vibe that enhances the film's themes of intimacy and observation. It unfolds at a deliberate pace, allowing moments of silence and subtle humor to breathe. The practical effects, coupled with the unique character designs, lend a certain warmth and texture. Based on Ádám Bodor's short story 'Megbocsátás,' it captures the essence of longing and the peculiarities of love in a way that sticks with you, even after the credits roll.
