Loving Vincent

First Published:

Loving Vincent is a very unique animated film directed by Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman. Lending their voices to the film are Douglas Booth, Jerome Flynn, Saoirse Ronan, Helen McCrory, Chris O’Dowd, John Sessions, Eleanor Tomlinson, and Aidan Turner.

LOVING VINCENT is the world’s first fully oil painted feature film. The film brings the paintings of Vincent van Gogh to life to tell his remarkable story. Every one of the 65,000 frames of the film is an oil-painting hand-painted by 125 professional oil-painters who travelled from all across the world to the Loving Vincent studios in Poland and Greece to be a part of the production. As remarkable as Vincent’s brilliant paintings, is his passionate and ill-fated life, and mysterious death.

All the characters in Loving Vincent are played by actors who worked either on sets specially constructed to look like Van Gogh paintings, or against green- screens, with the Van Gogh paintings being composited in, along with computer generated animation, after the shoot. The live action shoot took place at Three Mills Studios in London and CETA studio in Wroclaw. The experienced film crew included cinematographers Lukasz Zal and Tristan Oliver. The footage from the live action shoot then becomes the reference footage for the painting-animators.

Loving Vincent is rated 14A.
