A Vida Eletrizante de Louis Wain

Autor: Rosana Botafogo

A beautiful biography, it introduces us to the housekeeper and later wife Mrs. Emily, so that we feel the same pain as Louis, and his losses are constant, his gains are minimal, his life is poor and mean, his talent, love and ingenuity are boundless and invaluable... A beautiful film, an ode to cats and feline lovers, at a time when they were only used as mousers... A meticulous, delicate, colorful, fun and emblematic production... A biopic of the English artist Louis Wain, who lived between 1860-1939 and is best known for his drawings, which consistently featured anthropomorphized cats and kittens with large eyes. In his later years, he may have suffered from schizophrenia (although some experts dispute this claim), which, according to some psychiatrists, can be seen in his works.
