REVIEW
“One of the most beautiful films of 2017.
There is something brilliantly bonkers about Loving Vincent. Made over seven years, directors Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman recreated the paintings of Vincent van Gogh with actors against green-screen, then employed 125 artists to paint over 62,450 frames to reflect the artist’s style. The result resembles Richard Linklater’s adventures in rotoscoping, Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly, but seemingly painted by the world’s most famous artist. It might not completely satisfy dramatically but Loving Vincent is one of the most beautiful films of 2017, offering a glimpse of life through different eyes.”
Ian Freer, Empire

Vincent van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853, in Groot-Zundert, Netherlands.
