(Turkish w/ English subtitles)

Kedi (Turkish for cats) is a charming new documentary about the street cats of Turkey. “It’s hard to say whether Ceyda Torun’s delightful and visually splendid Kedi is a documentary about Istanbul, with cats, or a documentary about cats that happens to be set in Istanbul. The picture’s pleasures are bountiful, particularly for cat lovers: We meet café and store cats, dockside cats, cats who refuse to belong to one particular home or establishment but instead rule over a whole street. There are cats sleeping obliviously on unnervingly high-up ledges; cats padding across corrugated rusty-red roofs; cats just hanging out in doorways, their ears barely twitching as nearby humans extol their virtues.”- Time

 

Reviews

A cast of cats as fascinating as anything T.S. Eliot imagined in Old Possum’s fanciful book of poetry. There’s Bengü, an affectionate female tabby who loves to be brushed; Gamsiz, a scrappy, happy-go-lucky black-and-white tom; Duman, an aristocratic and well-mannered smoky male who never begs for food, but politely demands meals of smoked turkey and Manchego cheese.
