Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesThe sound of a Theremin can be heard prominently in the soundtrack. Although rarely used these days due to its association with old horror and science fiction films of the 1950s, in the 1920s, the Theremin was considered a revolutionary and new musical instrument and representative of the dawn of the age of electricity. This is in keeping with Louis Wain's view of electricity being the future of life.
- GaffesIt is not true to say, as the film claims, that before Louis Wain cats were not kept as pets in Britain. Many famous people were open about having cats as pets throughout the 19th century and before. Notably Edward Lear, Emily Brontë, Horace Walpole, Florence Nightingale, Robert Southey and Queen Victoria to name but a few.
- Citations
Louis Wain: You make the world beautiful and warm and kind. I just wanted to say thank you for that before it's too late.
Emily Richardson-Wain: I don't make the world beautiful, Louis. The world is beautiful, and you've helped me to see that, too. Just remember - however hard things get, however much you feel like you're struggling, the world is full of beauty. And it's up to you to capture it, Louis. To look and to share it with as many people as you can. You are a prism through which that beam of life refracts.

Wain wasn't "crazy", today many experts agree he was likely autistic in a world that didn't "understand" autism. Look it up, please.
He was thought to be psychotic late in life, but his creativity didn't diminish in those later years, it flourished. Historically speaking, psychiatric patients who are diagnosed with serious mental illness generally "lose" their artistic talents. Wain never did.
What "is" true from the film is that Wain dearly loved his wife, as portrayed, and he changed the way the world looked at cats, and I'm grateful he did.
