Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman's LOVING VINCENT (2017)


The technical achievement's just the start, 
Though it is high; there's eye candy to spare.
To animate Van Gogh in oils took art, 
Attention, talent, time, indeed, and care. 
The actors, though, and those who filmed them 'fore
The rotoscope and painters took this on
Are wonderful to watch. And there's a score
By Clint Mansell as well! The script has gone
To that same well that Bernard Rose did when
Beethoven was the subject. Whodunnit?
Each time a charming sleuth who was a friend
Comes bearing final words and spends a bit
Of time exploring a great life reveals
A story squarely aimed at all our feels.
