One Bad Cat (2008)

"One Bad Cat" unravels the intricate tapestry of Reverend Albert Wagner's life, an enigmatic 82-year-old African-American "outsider" artist. His tumultuous existence, marred by the vicissitudes of racism, arrogance, and desire, teeters on the precipice of catastrophe. However, at the age of 50, a divine intervention illuminates his path, steering him towards religion and inspiring him to pick up a paintbrush. His artistic journey not only catapults him to fame amongst a predominantly white fanbase, but also transforms him into a contentious figure. Born and raised amidst the entrenched racism of the South, Albert's later artworks audaciously challenge the lifestyle choices of his own African-American community. This bold stance polarizes opinions, generating both critics and admirers in equal measure. As the narrative nears its climax, Albert, his health dwindling, grapples with the ghosts of his past. The film leaves viewers pondering: Was Albert's remorse genuine? Did his art serve as a vessel for his redemption? "One Bad Cat" is a stirring exploration of the transformative power of art in a man's turbulent life.
