The Electrical life of Louis Wain is Biography drama-Comedy that tells the story of english artist Louis Wain(Benedict Cumberbatch). Who was renowned for his Psychedelic drawings of cats, that changes public perspective of cats forever. While along the way through his work we see as his life and Mental Health slowly declines. While this movie does follow some basic done formula it's does have a charm to it. The film does have the usually setting to these types of films with very whimsley moments, to make every connect to everybody before things happen. Benedict Cumberbatch as Louis i found very enjoyable. This was a role where your not entirely sure how it should be delivered. The real Louis many of of the believe he suffered from Schizophrenia, through it couldn't really be proveing. Regardless he does manges to offer an eccentric preforms. He overall's all a likeable guy, but he has this electric drive that switches on and off through his life. He's very fast spoken and in constant motion. He's also having nightmare and episodes the worst of times hit him and he's just down on his luck. These scenes do mange to have an impact. He starts to become more detached to what's going on around him. Eventually you start to get random subtitles indicating that he's talking to the cat and he understands them. The use of the visuals are a little muddy, but i feel that's intentional. As if everything traumatic is more a blur and fuzzy in the darkness. While everything in the light is more bright and clear. More trying to capture to spark of want he felt with his wife and pet. It did felt however that where the movie lose some drive is in the pacing. The layout of how the chose to go about is fine, though it felt as if certain sections should have been longer and some shorted. Overall the movies rather interesting it has drama nice visuals and cats. If you love cats your in for some cuteness as well, and that's always a bonus.
