Highly Recommended Loving Vincent

Loving Vincent is a 2017 biographical animated drama film about the life of painter Vincent van Gogh. It is the first fully painted animated feature film.[9] It is written and directed by Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman, and is being produced by Hugh Welchman and Sean Bobbitt of BreakThru Films and Ivan Mactaggart of Trademark Films. The development was funded by the Polish Film Institute, and re-training of professional oil painters to become painting-animators on the film was partially funded through a Kickstarter campaign.[10] The film is being sold by Cinema Management Group and financiers include RBF Productions, Silver Reel, Doha Film Institute, Polish Film Institute, Sevenex Capital Partners and City of Wrocław, European Capital of Culture in 2016.

Each of the film's 65,000 frames is an oil painting on canvas, using the same technique as Van Gogh, created by a team of 115 painters.[11] The film premiered at the 2017 Annecy International Animated Film Festival.[3]

My husband, who is a Van Gogh expert, however, doesn't want to see it. He's working on a project and disagrees with the
conclusions in the movie about the suicide. That doesn't matter to me, the way the movie was created from artists renderings is what makes it magical to me.
