The Electrical World of Louis Wain – 5

(TV) Remarkable performances by Benedict Cumberbatch and, more pleasingly, Claire Foy, but one wonders, why make a movie of this? Perhaps if one was British and familiar with the cat illustrations of the title character it would be more interesting to see the dysfunctional family he came from, or marvel at the delusional nature of his mind. Knowing nothing, however, and not particularly interested in cats, I kept wondering, why am I bothering to watch this? An odd film, to say the least.
