Bob, der Streuner (2016)

Bob, der Streuner: Directed by Roger Spottiswoode. With Luke Treadaway, Bob the Cat, Ruta Gedmintas, Joanne Froggatt. The true feel-good story of how James Bowen, a busker and recovering drug addict, has his life transformed when he meets a stray ginger cat. Based on the international best selling book.

“This film connects you with the realities of street life and addiction, but without the excessive angst, despair and high melodrama which is typical of the genre. Because of this the storytelling feels very realistic, very honest. Obviously what distinguishes this story is Bob himself – Iu0026#39;m not a cat fanatic but it is obvious that Bob is a very unique personality. Yet in keeping with the low key feel of the film, they do not overly anthropomorphize Bob himself – he is a cat who has adopted a human, plain and simple.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film deserves a wider distribution – it is unrated but I would suggest pg13. There is much more to this film that Bob the cat, but you should see the film and reach you own conclusions. If nothing else it may help you think differently, more sympathetically, about street people and street cats.”
