Roger Spottiswood's "Street Cat Named Bob" A Street Cat Named Bob, 2016. The film is based on the eponymous autobiographical novel by James Bowen, and the main role of the cat Bob starred the wonderful red cat Bob, which in films about animals is not so common. The story of how a drug addict, who has sunk almost to the bottom, was able to get out of this pit in large part due to the fact that he got lost and stayed to live, as is often the case with cats, a red street cat, whom he called Bob. Of course, a big role was played by people who believed that he would be able to get rid of drug addiction, those who wrote about him, made videos that became very popular on Facebook and YouTube, as well as literary agents who offered him to write a book about himself and about a cat that became a bestseller, these are the realities of today’s life. But the result is obvious, cinematic Bowen, as well as the real one, has completely recovered, although experts say that there are no former drug addicts, like former alcoholics, but let him be lucky. I can’t say that the film has a particularly interesting plot, but in the film his drug life is shown without unnecessary details, the type of the actor is suitable, quite realistic surrounding his characters, so it looks quite normal.
