Drop Me @ Cat (DVD) (Taiwan Version) DVD Region 3

Drop Me a Cat is the 2002 debut feature-length film from new-generation Taiwanese director Wu Mi Sen. Like Leste Chen, Zero Chou, Lin Yu Hsien, and DJ Chen, Wu belongs to a new class of Taiwanese directors, whose youth-oriented pop arthouse works are revitalizing both Taiwan's commercial cinema and artistic language. Drop Me a Cat won the Best Art Direction award at the Golden Horse Awards with its beautiful and haunting aesthetics, somewhere between post-modern and magical, and the film positively enchants with its fairy tale story. The quirky characters, flight-of-fancy sequences, whimsical score, and elliptical narrative make for a mesmeric, melancholic, and meditative take on life, death, and the imagined reality in between. The film stars Japanese actor Takeda Shinji (The Happiness of the Katakuris), Terri Kwan (The Heirloom), Joseph Chang (Eternal Summer), and Chang Yu Chen who featured in Wu's short film Fluffy Rhapsody.

On the eve of the new millennium, brooding loner Hei Shu (Takeda Shinji) finally gets a job, and starts playing in a brass band for weddings and funerals. One day his cat, left behind by his late girlfriend, suddenly disappears. Just as suddenly, a mysterious young woman (Terri Kwan) appears in his life - could she be his cat in another form? - and soon strange things begin to occur everywhere he goes.

It's the year 1999, Hei-shu (Kuroki), a long-term unemployed man, finally gets a job in a local musical band, performing at funerals and weddings. One day, Hei-shu's cat is missing. He later suspects that the cat has turned into a woman called Yokulut. Hei-shu is a, so called, "Japanese Culture Buff". He believes that he was Japanese in his previous life and was named "Tesuo" (the character from a very popular Japanese cartoon).

Hei-shu is obsessed with Gao Ya-qi, a a female news anchor. He shares a special world with Gao. From time to time, Gao talks to him personally on the TV screen. Later, she also warns Hei-shu better to keep his job. Otherwise, he might be one of the targets of the government's conspiracy - to terminate worthless individuals, especially the unemployed ones. The irony is that no one in the band can play any musical instruments....

On the eve of the millennium new year, every secret seems to have a different key to its mysteries...
