Paintings coming to life to tell his story Loving Vincent is the story of the troubled gifted artist Vincent van Gogh. The sheer amount of hard work, determination and adoration to the great artist and his masterpieces put in this movie makes it a masterpiece in itself.
For anyone who knows more about Vincent van Gogh apart from the man who cut his own ear will enjoy this movie. And those who don't should watch it to understand the magnitude of his talent and miseries at the same time. I had always looked at his works and tried to understand the use of colours, the emotions he was trying to display and the pain he expressed in his marvels like the Night Cafe, The Starry Night, Sorrowing Old Man, portrait of Dr. Gachet, Margaret Gachet and postman Joseph Roulin, Watching these paintings come to life and start talking to tell his very story is a surreal experience. Besides the astonishing fact that each and every frame in this movie is hand painted by oil on canvas, the movie has a gripping story, talented actors and does justice in telling the story of the one of the greatest painters that ever lived. The way the expressions came off so flawlessly just amazed me.
While it explores the various theories and questions people had in mind about the exact occurrence of his death, it ends on a positive note. It makes the viewers marvel at his talent, pity at his poverty despite being hugely talented and wonder what could have happened to him during his life.
