Dorota Kobiela

Loving Vincent

A postman's reluctant son delivers Vincent van Gogh's last letter a year after the painter's suicide and, meeting the people who knew him in his final weeks, starts doubting the official account of how he died. Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman's Loving Vincent is the first fully painted animated feature, built from oil paintings made in Van Gogh's own technique over sixty-five thousand hand-shot frames, a six-year production that treats the investigation plot mainly as scaffolding for its visual project.
