Tombili: Istanbul cat and worldwide meme honoured with statue

‘Tombili’, a rotund cat beloved by Istanbul’s Ziverbey neighbourhood, has been commemorated by the city authorities after local demand for a tribute to his memory. Tombili - a Turkish word often used for chubby pets - was known by residents of Ziverbey, part of the district of Kadıköy, for his nonchalant demeanour towards people who wanted to play with him. The cat became world famous earlier this year after a photo of him reclining in one of his favourite spots on the pavement was shared thousands of times on social media. Kadıköy’s deputy mayor said in the inauguration ceremony that 17,000 people had demanded a memorial sculpture.

Capharnaüm, Nadine Labaki (2018)

—

Capharnaüm, Capharnaüm,… A movie that make you cry. It’s a terrible story, where life becomes the enemy. The actors are just incredible, they are the driving force of the film, especially Zain. It’s a descent into hell all along, but I think it’s a little too much and almost falls into the pathos. But it explains the situation in these countries very well and carries a real message of both peace and appeal for help. The film has some lenght but the film is good overall. He deserve a price but not for me the Grand Prix, rather the price of interpretation.
