The Electrical Life of Louis Wain image 1

Paradiso Cinema Club is delighted to present the true story of eccentric British artist Louis Wain (Benedict Cumberbatch), whose playful, psychedelic pictures transformed the public's perception of cats forever. Set in the early 1900s, we follow Wain as he seeks to unlock the "electrical" mysteries of the world and, in so doing, to better understand his own life and the profound love he shared with his wife Emily Richardson (Claire Foy). Director: Will Sharpe Writers: Simon Stephenson, Will Sharpe Stars: Benedict Cumberbatch, Claire Foy, Andrea Riseborough Certificate: 12A
