The first ever hand-painted feature film, Loving Vincent takes the idea of animation and turns it on its head, bringing the work of Vincent van Gogh to life through 65,000 hand-painted frames. The film explores the complicated life of the world’s most famous artist, delving into Van Gogh’s struggles with mental health and the circumstances of his sudden death. Van Gogh’s revolutionary style reimagined art as we know it today, and this film in itself is a testament to his lasting influence on society and the power of art in reframing how we see the world.
