Visualize a painting by Vincent van Gogh in which everything moves. Take a look at the trailer and consider. I figure that goes two ways since you may be stunned at the vision or you may think 'this is bloody heresy.'
There was some question on the status of the movie so I looked around ...
Loving Vincent (movie web site)
Facebook (Loving Vincent page)
IMDb (status: post-production)
Make of the concept what you will but Vincent has been a lifetime fascination and I want to see the movie to feel its muchness before there's any way to present any impression. Since it's in post-production now, it should probably be released in 2017 and maybe early in the year.
I've been to the van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. Mystery Lady and I went to Washington to see the biggest Impressionist show ever and it was grand. "Lust for Life" by Irving Stone was a biography of van Gogh and I read that one when I was quite young. I've even seen the movie starring Kirk Douglas. As to being a Vincent fanboy, I'll stand up every time. I'm not at all outraged by what they're trying to do in the movie and I'm intensely curious as to whether they can pull it off.
Mystery Lady, this was one incredible tip and a reply in comments just wouldn't be enough. Thank you!
I've written about it previously but it was such an incredible thing when Mystery Lady and I walked into the Impressionist show ... and she immediately burst into tears at the beauty of it. I've always been kind of envious of her feeling it so much and I admire immensely that she does. If I get weepy watching a chick movie, it just isn't quite the same, is it.
Oh, you cry watching "Sleepless in Seattle?" Well, isn't that special (larfs).

Did you see the movie "Yellow House"? I found that one on Putlocker and very pleasantly surprised.
I'm glad you enjoyed the "Loving Vincent" trailer. The scenes "shimmer" like the paintings do in real life (Impressionist complementary colors). Its quite the undertaking, saw other articles and videos which go into more depth-- about how many pieces of artwork it will take to complete (what land mass it would cover, etc).
How lucky you are to have visited the museum in Amsterdam!

I really was and I do appreciate the spotlight moments like that. A lot of stuff blowed up real good but then there are parts I really would not have wanted to miss.
