Consisting of 65,000 individual frames taken from oil paintings and animated using a “rotoscoping” technique, LOVING VINCENT is not only a visual tribute to one of the world’s greatest artists, it is also a marvel of filmmaking. This Oscar-nominated film tells the story of Van Gogh’s life via a journey taken by Armand, the son of postman Joseph Roulin (made famous by one of Van Gogh’s most popular portraits), to deliver the final letter of Vincent’s to his beloved brother Theo Van Gogh in Paris. During the course of the film, Armand ends up traveling to many of the locales that found their way into Van Gogh’s unforgettable landscapes and encounters numerous characters that Van Gogh painted portraits of.
There’s never been a biopic quite like this! Through the character of Armand, we become immersed in the places, people, and things that impacted Vincent Van Gogh and inspired him to create timeless paintings that continue to resonate with viewers over a century after his unfortunate death by suicide. The production was made possible by the tireless work of scores of skilled painters from more than 20 countries around the world, as well as skilled animators and filmmakers who devoted 6 years to complete the project. There aren’t many artists who would warrant such an endeavor, but Vincent Van Gogh is certainly a worthy recipient of such treatment.
