Film Synopsis
In a story depicted in oil painted animation, a young man comes to the last hometown of painter Vincent van Gogh to deliver the troubled artist's final letter and ends up investigating his final days there.
The world's first fully painted animated feature explores the final days of Vincent van Gogh. A year after his suicide, Armand Roulin—son of postman Joseph Roulin—reluctantly attempts to deliver Vincent’s last letter to his brother, Theo, only to discover the complex and suspicious circumstances surrounding Van Gogh's death in Auvers-sur-Oise.
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.
