NEKO-MIMI is a masterpiece of 1990s Japanese cinema. The film portrays three girls and one boy who lead playful lives. Just as a game, in which the course is determined from beginning to end by certain rules, can be played time and again, their lives are also endless repetition. Reflecting on the hidden puzzle in this film may be the same as reflecting on the essence of cinema. EQUINOX presents a new HD-restored version from the 16mm print.
