Loving Vincent, a painted animated film, is first of its kind.

Seeing the film, is like being in a gallery full of van Gogh's paintings, arranged to tell a narrative. The characters of the movie are real people whose portraits were among van Gogh's still surviving works. These people have their own take on the life and mysterious death of the tortured artist.

The film is one of the most visually stunning films I've ever seen. The visuals are so captivating that the film's flaws, if there are, are easily eclipsed by its stunning beauty like none I've ever seen before.
