Loving Vincent | Based on a True Story (2018x26)

Air date: Aug 05, 2018

The film Loving Vincent takes a different approach to most films about a particular figure, not just because of the art style (which is absolutely fantastic), but because of the story they are telling. They made room for a lot of fictionalization, but also to explore one of the enduring mysteries of Van Gogh’s life. ------------------------------------------------------------ references: Van Gogh Letters: http://vangoghletters.org Wilkie, Ken.
