"Loving Vincent", directed by Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman. It tells the story of Vincent van Gogh's death, and it's a full length feature film where every frame was hand painted.
This film is filled with eye candies in every frame -- all the frames are painted, half of which did a very good job in imitating Van Gogh's brush strokes (used for contemporary scenes), while the other half is a blend of black and white photos and paintings (used for flashbacks). People familiar with Van Gogh's works should be able to recognize the backdrops in every scene, starting with "Starry Night" for the opening. This unique look by itself would have made the whole film worth watching, and the bonus material where they described "the slowest form of film making ever" really took it over the top.
Visuals aside, the story was also fairly well written, following the journey of Armand Roulin as he investigates what really happened to Van Gogh in his final days while trying to deliver Van Gogh's final letter. It's not obvious how much of this is fact or fiction, but it is a complete and coherent story that was well arranged to visit many of the famous portraits and scenes painted by Van Gogh.
There are some slower paced segments, but any such shortcomings can be overlooked by studying the artistic touch that is pervasive throughout the entire film. This is a film that I looked forward to when I heard about this ambitious project a few years back, and having finally seen it, it definitely exceeded my expectations.
