The Rat Catcher, the third film in Roald

The Rat Catcher, the third film in Roald Dahl’s anthology, uses narration and minimal visuals to create a unique storytelling experience that encourages viewers to imagine key scenes. The simple yet unpredictable plot follows a rat catcher facing a challenge when his poisoned bait fails, prompting him to perform bizarre acts to save his reputation. While the conflict is subtle, the film’s clever twist invites audiences to reconsider earlier scenes with new insight. Strong acting, effective CGI, and well-chosen sound design enhance the dramatic atmosphere. Overall, it’s a captivating and original short film worth watching.

Rat-themed horror-comedy, grim but fun

The local rat-catcher (Ralph Fiennes), who bears a disquieting resemblance to his prey, is engaged to extirpate a minor infestation of the creatures. Wes Anderson's spin on the eponymous Roald Dahl short story is quite fun (in a grim way) as the resourceful Rat Man explains his various highly unpleasant methods of dispatching his clever quarry. His final demonstration of Homo's sanguineous dominance over Rattus, although largely unseen, is brutally amusing (and sadly not unprecedented considering some of the revolting blood-sports to which animals have been sacrificed in the not-so-distant past). Attention to detail may make the final lines less cryptic. Of Wes Anderson's four recent Roald Dahl inspired short films, this was my favorite.
