DIE HASCHENSCHULE - DER GROSSE EIERKLAU (RABBIT ACADEMY: MISSION EGGPOSSIBLE)
Watchable. The Austrian-German-Swiss sequel to the lovely tale is gross, especially the gangs. In the previous film dialogues were fun and animation delightful. No more. The sequel lacks lightness. The plot is a praise of technical skills, with a hen trained by Chick Norris. The grass looks lame, though the eggs are colourful and the music surrounds you. In Poland, the film is dubbed in Polish, only the final song is in English..
THE ELECTRICAL LIFE OF LOUIS WAIN
Watchable. The incredible true story of English artist Louis Wan is brought to the big screen in an interesting, if flawed, biopic. While the biopic of the cat painter puts you in the shoes of an artist lacking the financial acumen and additionally struggling both with social prejudice and a mental illness, protracted reminiscences - though they eventually make sense - feel tedious and ambiguous for a large part. Victorian times are meticulously recreated, down to poplar trees. Some scenes, where real life images blend into pictures, are delightful. Louis Wan's drawings and paintings, while artistically impressive, reflect his deteriorating state of his mind. Benedict Cumberbatch is astonishingly convincing in portraying such a complex man over the span of a few decades. Olivia Colman narrates the story gently. The Brits, as usual, love their eccentrics. The title highlights the painter's attitude to life and art but, other than some mumblings, isn't conveyed successfully. It took me the 1 hour 45 minutes of the movie to finally realize he wasn't an inventor working with electricity.
