On a rainy night in Calcutta a group of desperate addicts chase brown sugar, but the permanent intoxication they seek proves elusive. Cat Sticks weaves their stories into a chiaroscuro, traverses with them through states high and low, spaces real and unreal. A relentless downpour plays backdrop to lives balanced on a precarious high. For Ronny Sen’s first feature, can be said, that it is a combination of style drawing elements form the great Indian director Satyajit Ray and the American Abel Ferrara.
