Confidenze di un gatto
Documentary about the adventures of a stray cat and his 'colleagues' in Rome in the Fifties, between old traditions and postwar reality, to the discovery of the oldest streets of the city.
A short film by Walerian Borowczyk in two parts. The first 'panel' follows the morning routine of Leon Boyer who, despite being almost 100 years old, still farms the land, drives a vintage car, and plays with his two dogs. The second panel shows shots of beautiful flowers and a cat, to a recording of Tino Rossi singing 'La romance de Nadir / Je crois encore entendre' from Bizet's opera 'Les pêcheurs de perles'.
