Kedi

I got into the mood for a bit of an indie...ish - film (not a Hollywood blockbuster) for this, picked a day when I felt I was in the right mood for it. I read a review - it was great and the film was shown not only in the art-film cinemas here, but in the more mainstream ones too, so surely, it must be great. It's about cats, after all. I love cats. What could go wrong?

Well, apparently - a lot of things. It was - boring. Plain and simple. At the start I was excited, by the end I was squirming in my seat wondering when would it end. One could say that Hollywood movies with their flashy fast-paced images has spoiled me. But no - I'm not sure that's the issue here. The film had no narrative. No one storyline to tie together the small bits, the stories of all the cats. If there was one it was so loose, it didn't do it's job. It felt like a small TV-series with each bit of the film being an episode about a certain cat(s) and a human connected to the cat(s). It got old, repetitive and there were a lot of issues I would have liked a closer look at, a more in-depth discussion of, but that were just briefly mentioned. All and all, not my favorite kind of film.
