Following his appearance in Martin Scorsese’s Silence, Kubozuka Yosuke delivers another strong performance as a struggling ex- boxer who finds consolation in his cat Maru. But Maru ends up in the hands of a mechanic who has named it Lily. In between calling each other names and fighting over cat ownership, the two team up to protect a woman from her stalker ex-boyfriend and get unwittingly pulled into a dangerous political conspiracy. Actor- director Hideo Sakaki’s genre-meshing Alley Cat shifts tones wildly from buddy comedy to crime thrills while keeping its focus on the burgeoning friendship of two stray men brought together by a cat.
