Loving Vincent


A feature film about the life and mysterious death of Vincent Van Gogh. No one can tell if it will be a good movie story-wise, but as far as being beautiful and innovative, it has much more artistic value than anything the corporate Disney machine has put out in a long time. And something like this deserves recognition above another formulated princess story. So, here's a homework assignment, do one oil painting worthy of being in this movie. And then imagine doing that 25,000 more times in animated succession.

  • Directors: Dorota Kobiela, Hugh Welchman
  • Writers: Jacek Dehnel, Dorota Kobiela
  • Stars: Saoirse Ronan, Aidan Turner, Eleanor Tomlinson

The name of this song is called NOAH Soundtrack - The Spirit Of The Creator Moved Upon The Face Of The Waters. Took me a bit to find it but here we are! To those who made this trailer, it may be a good idea to add the creators of the music into your description and to all others....Enjoy!!! :)...



Beautifully done. I did find myself wondering, however, if the film is going to push the "insanity" issue? Because the man was highly intelligent (read his letters to his brother in the book, "Dear Theo") and was anything but insane. He was, however, very ill physically, largely undernourished, and of course he drank much absinthe, which tends to affect one's vision, causing one to perceive yellow more intensely. He had venereal disease and suffered from pica, a condition in which one tends to nibble on non-food items. He tended to put his paintbrushes into his mouth and those paints contained lead, so obviously he had lead-poisoning. In his early thirties, his teeth began to break off, which clearly indicates a mineral deficiency. And eventually the venereal infection had to have finally affected his brain because there were no antibiotics in those days. But as you know, there are those who assume that the man must always have been "insane," and that idea has no doubt helped to sell millions of reproductions of his work, to say nothing of his actual paintings. Hopefully the film will approach his life not from a fanciful place but from a realistic standpoint. He WAS a very talented man, but spent the money his brother sent him on paints and models, and not enough on food. He largely lived off of dry bread, old cheese, lots of coffee, and a few olives. This were not the only things he ate, of course, but when one's teeth begin to break off, it tells you something. His circumstances were very unfortunate, and he tended to be overly impulsive with women, leading to many disappointments. So of course he experienced much sadness. But we all need to stop seeing Van Gogh as insane. His was a hard life, but he was not a mad man ...

Can't wait to see this. They literally brought my wish to life. I always imagined how cool it would be if Van Gough's paintings came to life. He has always been my favorite artist. I've found his paintings to have a lot of motion and raw energy in them...

    I appreciate all the effort you guys put in the art, put the problem is: With all the color movement and 12 frames/sec, would it give me a headache? It looks incredible in the 1 minute trailer, but on big screen and 1,5 hour length…

    if it doesn’t win the best animated film Oscar, I think it will be certain that Disney owns a monopoly on the award.

    From an animation perspective this is like painting the Vatican with a broken arm it’s an undertaking like nothing I’ve imagined. Nothing but respect from me for doing this.

    I wonder if Vincent were alive to see this, if he would be flattered by the attention and love he and his work have received in the years following his death? Would he be concerned that the true story of his life had been warped and twisted with “artistic license” by film makers and writers? Would he view it as insulting because it exploits the very real struggles he went through in life? Would he wonder why so many were speaking with English accents instead of French? Don’t get me wrong, I am a painter, and I love Van Gogh’s work dearly. I appreciate film making and I think the idea of a moving “painting” is awesome (ever since I saw the video “Shadrach” by the Beastie Boys). It certainly is stunning to look at. But I wonder if it is doing more harm than good for the memory of an artist who took his work very, very seriously, and deserves absolute respect from anyone who appreciates art. I just wonder if it is cheapening the man himself. Food for thought.

    That moment when you search for the italian version of the movie and you find out that it gets relased in italian the next day, then your’re in front of the cinema after three seconds screaming “TAKE MY MONEY I NEED TO WATCH THIS”
    Also this movie is part of my scholastic exam
