For those who can’t wait, watch him in “ The Electrical Life of Louis Wain” which is out now.

"This is a dark Western contrasting beautiful scenery with ugly behavior." Uh - isn't there enough bad behavior already? Why bring it in your living room? I'll be skipping this. I can read it and not be bothered but the visual aspect stays in my mind way too long.
