In “The Electrical Life of Louis Wain,” Benedict Cumberbatch stars as the eccentric British artist who became famous for his playful pictures of cats.
History remembers Wain for essentially domesticating cats in England through his work, with his funny art changing attitudes and turning the animal from a vermin catcher into an acceptable pet. But, Cumberbatch explains, the new movie aims to capture the inner life of this unsung hero.

I loved this movie. The art in the process of being made is an intoxicating focus, cinematography is gorgeous, fascinating characters well-acted, explores a difficult historical period, and cats as a main enchanting character.

It's an order corporal.

I just found out that Will's wife is Sophia Di Martino who played Sylvie alongside Tom Hiddleston in the Loki series!

That's because she was a main character in one of his television series "Flowers" that has 3 Seasons worth of viewing beginning in 2016. You get more insight when you look beyond the present. ; )

Too much pressure was put on that man from a young age. Artists like Louis Wain need people to look out for them, guide them, and protect them. He didn't have that... and he needed that!

Will Sharpe is the writer/director of the future! As well as an amazing actor, like the tortured Rodney in Giri/Haji for which he got a bafta for best supporting role. I adooooore this guy. Also check out his C4 show Flowers.

@@HarlequeenStudio yes he has one for the power of dog this year. But what i meant to say is that he also had one for his Alan Turing role and I believe he also had one for 12 years a slave if I remember correctly

I found Louis's work in a vintage psychology book and checked into the single illo credit. I found a small publication a bio, in the 90's about this artist and had to mail away for it. This movie has a special place in my heart

I have to ask though, why electrical? From the title alone, one might have thought, had they not heard of the gentleman before like me, that the film was about a hitherto little-known counterpart of Edison or Tesla. Perhaps eclectic would have been a better fit for this fascinating individual?
