Loving Vincent 《至愛梵高》

主演：羅伯特?古拉奇克、道格拉斯?布斯、埃莉諾?湯姆林森、杰羅姆?弗林、西爾莎?羅南

It’s a miracle that Loving Vincent even exists. Made over several years – BBC Culture first wrote about it in October 2014, it’s a film in which every single frame, some 65,000, has been created by hand as oil paintings. Polish directors Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman felt this was the best way to capture the dreamy essence of Vincent van Gogh’s life and work – particularly during the stormy final months of his life, as he battled mental illness and hurtled toward suicide. Most of the images recreate or evoke well-known Van Gogh paintings, and since so many of his paintings were of portraits, Kobiela and Welchman structured their film via a series of interviews, in which the subjects who sat for Van Gogh, such as Postman Roulin and Dr Gachet, recall their relationship to the artist and the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death. The directors brought in 115 oil painters, specially retrained to gear their technique for animation, to create the paintings that would make up the movie – each would take about 40 minutes to complete. Released 6 October in Canada, 13 October in the UK and Ireland and 20 October in Finland and Sweden (Credit: Good Deed Entertainment)
《至愛梵高》這部電影的存在本身就是個奇跡。這部電影制作了數年，BBC文化2014年10月首次提到這部電影時稱，這部電影中的每一幅油畫（總共有65000幅）都是手工繪制的。波蘭導演多洛塔?科別拉和休?韋爾什曼認為這是捕捉梵高生活和工作夢幻精華的最好的方式，尤其是在梵高生命最后狂風驟雨的幾個月，在他和精神疾病作斗爭，逐漸走向自殺的時候。大多數這些油畫或是再現梵高名畫，或是喚起人們對梵高名畫的記憶。因為梵高的許多畫都是肖像畫，多洛塔?科別拉和休?韋爾什曼在電影中還穿插了一系列訪談，采訪對象包括梵高的模特，如郵差魯林和加歇醫生。他們都會在電影中回憶自己和梵高的關系，以及和梵高死亡有關的神秘情形。兩位導演聘請了115名油畫師來創作這部電影中的油畫，他們都經過特別訓練，學習用動畫技術來創作油畫——完成一幅油畫大概需要40分鐘。這部電影于10月6日在加拿大上映，于10月13日在英國和愛爾蘭上映，10月20日在芬蘭和瑞典上映。（資料來源：Good Deed娛樂公司）
