watching cats run around for a good hour is the best way I can imagine spending my time tbh
life is stupid and pointless because i can’t pet every cat
Cats are cinema.
Dogs are television.
"she's the neighborhood psychopath."
Some of them are so fluffy, I nearly exclaimed in the theatre how pretty they were. Some of them had noses that just demanded that I boop them, and maybe I silently did so in the theatre stop judging me. Some of them had such glorious cat bellies that I might have exploded from joy and the unique happy frustration of only witnessing and not being able to actually rub said cat bellies. Little bitty roly poly kittens! KITTIES!
Two hours of cats. Kitties. In the streets of Istanbul. I have no idea how Ceyda Torun filmed this at cat-level, but it looks so amazing. You follow them through narrow spaces, beneath the feet of people, through trees and over…
"A cat looking up at you, meowing at you, is life smiling at you."
Man, cats are just the fucking best.
not to be fake deep but this is one of the most life-affirming and naturally spiritual movies I have ever seen and watching it makes me feel more connected
nothin better than gettin high and smiling at cats :)
I talk about this movie maybe once a month, and I still forget my favorite parts. Love that little cat pawing at the window of the restaurant.
I have the sudden urge to move to Istanbul and pet as many cats as I can
every cat in the world is perfect and beautiful and i’m glad to finally have a movie that confirms this hypothesis
citizen kane is garbage now because it's not about cats
