Loving Vincent

(Breakthrough Prods., Trademark Films | Good Deed Entertainment) Directors: Dorota Kobiela, Hugh Welchman Release Date: Sept. 22, 2017 Rotten Tomatoes Score: 75% Synopsis: An undeliverable letter from Vincent van Gogh to his brother Theo sparks an investigation into the painter’s tumultuous life, traumatic final days, and the possibility that he might actually have been murdered. Box Office to Date: $23,000 The Word: “A long and arduous labor of love by Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman, the film turns van Gogh’s work into an unusual kind of biopic. Using tens of thousands of oil paintings commissioned from scores of artists, the filmmakers transform famous works of modern art into a hypnotic and beguiling cartoon.” – A.O. Scott, New York Times. Nomination Chances: The sheer novelty and beauty of its production alone might get the attention of the Academy.
