LOVING VINCENTPG13 ‧ 2017 ‧ Crime film/Drama ‧ 1h 35m
LOVING VINCENT is the world’s first fully oil painted feature film.
Written & directed by Dorota Kobiela & Hugh Welchman, produced by
Poland’s BreakThru Films & UK’s Trademark Films.
The film brings the paintings of Vincent van Gogh to life to tell his
remarkable story. Every one of the 65,000 frames of the film is an
oil-painting hand-painted by 125 professional oil-painters who
travelled from all across the world to the Loving Vincent studios in
Poland and Greece to be a part of the production. As remarkable as
Vincent’s brilliant paintings, is his passionate and ill-fated life,
and mysterious death.
No other artist has attracted more legends than Vincent van Gogh.
Variously labelled a martyr, a lustful satyr, a madman, a genius and a
layabout, the real Vincent is at once revealed in his letters, and
obscured by myth and time. Vincent himself said in his last letter:
‘We cannot speak other than by our paintings’. We take him at his
word and let the paintings tell the real story of Vincent van Gogh.
