Olivia Colman provides crisp narration, first giving us the context of the period and cheerfully overlooking, as she does so much else, the repressive and colonialist elements of the era: \"Aside from its bizarre social prejudices, Victorian England was also a land of innovation and scientific discovery. Many of the world's finest minds were digging deep into the nature of electricity.\" But while scientists and inventors were trying to use electricity to illuminate darkness and operate machinery, Louis Wain believed that electrical forces are what pull us forward in time and help us hold onto our memories. He called electricity \"the key to all of life's most alarming secrets.\" This idea helped inspire his pictures of cats, which became more stylized and kaleidoscopic, almost psychedelic, over the decades.
Benedict Cumberbatch adds another historical portrait to his credits with this determinedly oddball biopic. He plays the titular Victorian illustrator, who was famous for drawing anthromorphised cat pictures that helped society warm to the idea of felines as domestic pets. Financial woes, an all-female family to support, mental-health problems and a tragically short marriage to a governess (Claire Foy) become the markers by which Wain seeks to unlock the \"electrical\" mysteries of the world. Indeed, much of said electricity is generated by Cumberbatch and Foy's chemistry, while director Will Sharpe's bold visual style delivers extra sparkle, as he utilises fanciful lighting, animated psychedelia, kaleidoscopic images and cutely subtitled kitten dialogue. Unexpectedly charming and sweet despite the inevitable dark routes taken, the film is an affecting watch, and Olivia Colman's cheeky narration is an added treat.
Director Ivan Grbovic presents a visceral look at the real-life ripples of globalism in Drunken Birds, a tale stretching from the deserts of Mexico to a vegetable farm in Quebec. Involving drug cartels and migrant workers, this is a profoundly human look at cogs in the commercial machine. We watch as time slips, the cicadas chirp, and dominoes fall into place. Sara Mishara's cinematography is appropriately lush, and lead Jorge Antonio Guerrero as the isolated worker Willy is excellent.
Somehow I assumed this movie was about an inventor. Probably because of \"electrical\" in the title. It is not. It is basically a movie about a man who REALLY, REALLY, REALLY likes cats. Based on the real life of Louis Wain, the film follows Wain (Benedict Cumberbatch), an eccentric artist at the turn of the century who specialized in drawing brightly colored cats. If the film is to be believed, Wain almost single-handedly turned cats into the rival of dogs for most popular house pet. Prior to him, they were considered mangy strays. But after he adopted cats with his wife (Claire Foy) and then spent his entire life drawing them, they took the world by storm, with everyone nabbing a cat after falling in love with his illustrations. If you're a dog person, you now know to whom you should send your hate mail.
I'd rather have my bottom impaled on a giant cactus than pass up an opportunity to recommend this Rowan Atkinson masterpiece. The British cult classic (which has gone on to spawn two sequels) features Atkinson as a cross between James Bond and Inspector Clouseau. He's incompetent in nearly every way, but when the entirety of MI7 is killed, he's the only agent left to stop a coup against the British throne by John Malkovich's jumped-up Frenchman, Pascal Sauvage. I nearly die laughing every time I watch the caper, including the scene where English tries to unmask the archbishop of Canterbury. Atkinson is a master of asides and ad-libs, and they do not disappoint here. The film also includes live footage of me performing a lip sync for my life every night while getting ready for bed.
Oh, the joys of watching the mental gymnastics involved in marketing cigarettes as a \"good life decision.\" And yet there is a whole multimillion-dollar industry dedicated to enticing people to inhale fumes they know could give them cancer. Thus is the premise of this satirical comedy in which Aaron Eckhart works as the chief spokesperson for the tobacco industry. The darkly funny film follows Eckhart as he employs all manner of spin tactics to assure the public that smoking isn't that bad, all while trying to maintain his status as a good guy in the eyes of his family. I 10/10 wouldn't recommend smoking, but I would recommend this film.
The extraordinary true story of eccentric British artist Louis Wain, whose playful, sometimes even psychedelic pictures helped to transform the public's perception of cats forever. Moving from the late 1800s through to the 1930s, we follow the incredible adventures of this inspiring, unsung hero, 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 59ce067264
