Movie: Loving Vincent ☼

Polish and Britain movie makers  Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman have realized an animated story about great Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. “Loving Vincent” is composed of 65,000 paintings (with the technique of cartoon films) all hand painted in the style of Vincent van Gogh by about 125 artists. This year this amazing movie has been nominated for Oscar award. 

The plot:
Just when Vincent became successful, he commits suicide. Was it becouse of his mental health or the problems with his brother? Was it a desperate act to get more recognition for his work? Was not it a suicide at all? Armand Roulin, the son of Van Gogh’s postman, goes to Auvers to unravel the mystery about Vincent’s death. The various people (all painted by van Gogh!) that he meets during his trip each have their own story. It seems difficult to find out the truth about Vincent Vincent. Eventually, the film depicts a fascinating portrait of Van Gogh, who was hardly recognized during his life.
