donnely I found the the film visually stimulating to the eye although once I got over that I found myself distracted by the casting of the film.... one the accents do not fit the setting of the film which is 1890's France, thus having a range of British and Irish accents did not draw me into the film... the actors of the film appeared to be on a green screen at some points, although beautifully presented during close ups when full body shots were present the subject in the landscape appeared to be out of place. Saying that, the black and white scenes to me appears to be the stand out part of the film with its semi-realistic yet painterly effect was truly stunning. That being said the film as a whole was a wonderful hybrid between fine art and cinema.
thomasjay-52277 Fantastic transitions, look and atmosphere just little else going for it. The story is simple not that that's an issue but is poorly Executed and mostly uninteresting as the answer is always clear, still despite not having much of interest about it with a run time of 1 hour and 35 minutes maybe it's a good film for a rainy day
krocheav What a one-of-a-kind experimental venture this interpretation of Van Gogh's life is! An artistic achievement for the eyes, that also offers another slant to the mystery surrounding this tortured souls 'suicide'. While Vincent's prolific letter writings gave us numerous insights into the man and his life - this script, also involves a degree of supposition - none the less, it does present several theories to ponder. Some tangents this fully animated film follows, involve some minor pornography, which appears as if it had been included for the sake of acquiring an M rating. Maybe this was a slight overindulgence that might also just keep it from some of its most valuable audiences. Otherwise, this is a grand emotional journey into the life and times of one of arts most neglected painters of his day. This aspect should perhaps also make us question the marketing manipulation that has taken art from the populace and placed it in the realm of business and sadly, often the corrupt within modern society. That said, those who passionately follow this tragic artist's life should be delighted with this visual treat - even if it might overwhelm some others with its highly unusual filmic treatment. *Recommended for the romantic and inspired viewer.
Marikar Halili This film was indeed made straight from the heart of whoever conceived this idea and the 125 artists who painstakingly handpainted its 65,000 frames. It is without a doubt so visually stunning and on top of that, the cinematography and storyline is actually great. Every scene is well thought out, even the voice acting is impeccable, and overall it is just an incredible piece of art, which also happens to be about one of the greatest artists in history. 30 years from now I am looking forward to showing this to my grandchildren. 10/10!
