Loving Vincent (2017)

Loving Vincent: Directed by Dorota Kobiela, Hugh Welchman. With Douglas Booth, Josh Burdett, Holly Earl, Robin Hodges. In a story depicted in oil painted animation, a young man comes to the last hometown of painter Vincent van Gogh (Robert Gulaczyk) to deliver the troubled artist’s final letter and ends up investigating his final days there.

“I saw the film at the Tellride Film Festival and was blown away. I knew that the film would be gorgeous, but the trailer doesnu0026#39;t do the projected feature justice. The oil paintings are mesmerizing on their own, but combined they create a transfixing animation that is completely unique and never gets tiring. The film is worth seeing, and will be forever remembered, for these visuals by themselves. Its only stumble comes from a script that has difficulty in reaching its conclusion, and the use of formulated black-and-white flashbacks to show Vincentu0026#39;s life leave something to be desired (especially when considering the filmu0026#39;s other creative achievements.) Even so, the film is an immense triumph that every human being with eyes will love.”
