View More(Flash Review)I've seen a large swath of films but I don't think I've seen one yet where every frame was entirely hand-painted! And I need not say the painting is in the expected Van Gogh style. This film paints the picture (pun intended) of Van Gogh's mental state and how it surprisingly shifted toward the end of his life. The story takes place after his death and is often told through old letters or memories from acquaintances and close friends. The story tries to piece together his motivation and how he killed himself. Just about all his most famous paintings become a scene in the film and the music score is excellent. This is a tremendous piece of film making as well as an intriguing tale.
View MoreI have waited a long time to see this movie, in fact I wanted to see this movie since the first trailer for its kickstarter campaign came out back in 2012 and I have to say that the wait was absolutely worth it. This movie is wonderful. Its not only one of the best looking film I have ever seen but also the story was beautifully told, from starting more as a documentary but unfolding more and more like a crime drama always keeping up the interest. The actors did a marvelous job here and the soundtrack as well was quite fitting. It is always refreshing to see new ideas crafted so excellently and excitingly. This movie is sure to become a classic and is definitly one of the best 2017.
View MoreThe captivating look of the film was achieve through the use of hand-drawn rotoscope animation; an animation technique where the animators trace over real-life footage to achieve a blend between fluid and realistic animation. Important to note that the artists of the film managed to accomplished a stunning visual piece of art through and through using rotoscoping, whereas in other instances other works that have used the technique tend to look uncanny and downright unappealing to look at, something that a Google search on bad rotoscoping made readily apparent. The stylistic effort to reproduce Van Gogh's style only add more to the visual appeal of the film, although one of the noticeable differences between the film's and the real-life art is that Van Gogh's style is more wild and distorted as opposed to the film's which maintains a more "tamed" visual style in comparison to the real one, not doubt to make it more appealing for most audiences and easier to animate. The music in the film was composed by Clint Mansell, whose work can be found on films like "Requiem for a Dream" and "Black Swan", and much in vein with his work it is used sparingly but effective on key scenes. The plot of this film is to explore Van Gogh's final days through the eyes of various characters who knew him, and to delve deeper into who exactly was Vincent Van Gogh. The story is fairly straightforward and the bulk of its development is carried through conversations involving people that interacted and knew Van Gogh, with one of the key mysteries presented being why did he decided to take his own life. At the end of the day, the film's stunning visuals are the most remarkable aspect of the film, but for anyone familiar or interested in learning about Van Gogh as an artist and a person the film gives a touching insight into the hearth of the man who became both one of the most prolific artists of all and time, and the quintessential image of the tragic artist, and if that is what you're looking for then this is the perfect movie to learn about his art and life.
