"Ophelia / The Cat Lady" is a two-part experimental short film by Tom Chomont. "Ophelia" draws inspiration from John Everett Millais' painting, featuring a woman submerged in a bathtub, evoking themes of femininity and mortality. "The Cat Lady" juxtaposes footage of a woman petting a cat with reversed scenes of storms and explosions, creating a surreal narrative that blends domestic tranquility with apocalyptic imagery.
