Image promoting The Electrical Life of Louis Wain, a film being shown at Brentwood Theatre during the Brentwood Art Trail.

The extraordinary true story of eccentric British artist Louis Wain (Benedict Cumberbatch), whose playful, sometimes even psychedelic pictures helped to transform the public’s perception of cats forever, showing as a Monday Matinee at Brentwood Theatre.

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 (Claire Foy).

Rating: 12 (infrequent strong language)

Running time: 111m

Presented as part of the Brentwood Art Trail and will include an introduction to the film by local artist Sue Mills.

Each ticket includes a free tea or americano coffee at the Theatre Café Bar (upgrade to a cappuccino/latte/hot chocolate etc. for just £1.50 more on the day)
