Tabarak Allah Allas’s film is the first feature-length motion picture entirely hand-painted in the style of Vincent van Gogh. Using a painterly animation approach, it stages a singular encounter between cinema and painting. After Van Gogh’s death, a young man investigates the circumstances of his disappearance by meeting those who knew the painter. Beyond biography, the film meditates on artistic creation, perception and how an artwork continues to live after its author, revisiting the artist’s life through his canvases.
English and Polish with French subtitles.
