What is The Case of the Grinning Cat (2004) (II) about?

THE CASE OF THE GRINNING CAT, 2004, First Run/Icarus, 58 min. Dir. Chris Marker. In November 2001, Chris Marker became intrigued by the sudden appearance of grinning yellow cat paintings on Paris buildings, Metro walls and other public surfaces, and began to document the mysterious materializations of this charming feline. This engaging record of Marker’s cinematic peregrinations throughout the city chronicles political incidents, a variety of protests (about Iraq, Tibet, immigration), elections, and celebrity scandals. The personalized commentary running throughout the film offers the simultaneously learned and witty reflections on both the contemporary and historical implications of these varied events and personalities. Eventually, the creator of the grinning cats is revealed to be an art collective known as Mr. Cat, whose members are shown painting a massive representation of their mascot on the plaza before the Pompidou Center.
