I guess everyone expects a masterpiece from Coen brothers. In most cases it is true. This one, however, is not one of such. Story (story?) is pretty weak and I guess only an orange cat stands out. The main character does not. Now, to be honest, cinematography and cast performances are extraordinary. Coen brothers know how to make a movie, even if it is back-grounded with such a shallow story (story?). To me this movie has neither a beginning nor an end. It is just an excerpt from a life of a musician (and an orange cat). Long line of brief conversations and wandering around. Depressing at its best moments. Probably this would mean something to an American who was struggling to find his/her place on the stage in the depicted period, but to majority of the audience it's simply boring. Slow paced cat movie with some singing and guitar playing. Well made, though. Someone may even call it "artistic". But that's it. Nothing to write home about.
