Video sites are the brave new world of movie and series and other similar content producing, snatching awards and offering the freshness and quality the mainstream American cinema can only dream about. Following Amazon, Netflix, and others, YouTube has hopped on that train too, with similarly impressive results. "Kedi" is not actually produced with YouTube's money, but they bought all the streaming rights for YouTube Red. And now it's in our cinemas too. Kedi" (cat" in Turkish) is a 79-minute documentary about street cats of Istanbul. There's a lot of them around, and many people love and take care of them. What results is a heartful glimpse into the world that you may have missed even if you've been to Istanbul. If you don't care about cats, or have watched too many animal videos online already, "Kedi" is probably not worth your time. But for ardent cat fans such as I, watching it is a pretty good way to celebrate the existence of those magical animals all over again. "Kedi" is well made and put together, if not exactly spectacular in any way. If you like cats, try it out.
