Just watched this film today. I agree about the accents but it didn't bother me all that much. And the fact that the film doesn't give that much info on Van Gogh didn't bother me at all. in fact I think that was the intention all along. This isn't a documentary after all. Like most people who aren't art scholars, I had the most basic knowledge of Van Gogh. And so did the main character of this movie At the start of the story he didn't care much about him either. but the more he learned from the people who knew Van Gogh the more invested he became in the man himself, almost obsessed really. He's the ideal surrogate for the audience. I can see myself doing exactly what he did in the movie if it were me in his shoes. That made the various twists and turns in the story much more emotionally impacting for me.
Yeah I agree with you that the audiences "in" to the film is through Armand Roulin's character. It's nice to see his opinion change the more he learns. However, I do think that the dialogue at the end of the film, the conversation he has with his father is a little too on the nose. I'm paraphrasing but he says something like "I wonder if he will ever be truly appreciated". I almost expected him to turn to the camera and give a wink. Still, wonderful film though!
This movie is pure poetry. The visuals alone make this a must-watch but the storyline is also intriguing and well done. I was crying uncontrollably at the end. Because it's sad; because he was misunderstood. PURE POETRY. GO SEE!! And I hate most movies.
To reviewer: I don't think the movie is trying to be a biography, so I am not disappointed in that at all. On the contrary, I'm more intrigued now to find out more. And the difference in accents? Well, since it is all set in France, the movie should be in French. Since it is in the wrong language to begin with, who cares about the different English accents?
I agree it wasn't intended to be biographical but rather a showcase of the cinematography and some intrigue concerning his death to keep the viewers interested.
If you haven't seen it I highly recommend the Doctor Who episode, "Vincent and the Doctor". It is a little goofy (because it is Doctor Who) but it is absolutely beautiful and I think they do Vincent a great service with the episode.
I agree and with BBC left wing rarely watch Dr Who but did so as I read there was a story about Vincent in it. It was a lovely (albeit pure fantasy) idea that finally TV/films for posterity, we his admirers had a scene (which I admit brought me to close to tears) where unlike in his life time the total feeling of utter failure, rejection and scorn, selling only one painting and that he was not a very good artist but the character see's how his genius, talent and innovation led to him now really being known and considered the most famous and influential painter of all time. In away Don McClean did the same with song Starry Starry Night. Regarding Loving Vincent, the British accents, the wasted hours of painting thousands of pictures for an animation that just made me feel giddy, a pointless story line which should have been about him - a total waste of time and effort.
I saw it in a theater tonight, and I loved it! It was gorgeous to watch, the mystery was engaging, and I didn't have a problem with their having left out things in Vincent's life. A movie that takes just 94 minutes is not going to have every detail about someone's life, so they had to go with a compelling story, and that took most of the time. But what it did do was make me interested in learning more about the artist, which is something I think any moviemaker should feel proud about. If it sends people to museums, libraries, or the internet to learn more, that's not a bad thing. As a huge _Poldark_ fan, I was thrilled to see both Aidan Turner and Eleanor Tomlinson having roles in it, and it was interesting to see them painted as Van Gogh would have painted them, but with movement, too. This is a literal work of art, and when it was over, our audience applauded, something I hadn't seen in a long time. As an American, I didn't pay much attention to the accents either. We're used to hearing all kinds of accents. What was gratifying to me was that I could understand almost all the dialogue, a rare occurrence these days as I'm getting older. BTW, I was happy to learn a woman from California, where I am, was one of the artists working on this project, a truly international achievement!
I'm really glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching my review... and for your thoughts and comment! My knowledge is very limited when it comes to Van Gogh. I was hoping this film would expand upon what little I do know. But yes I do agree, film makers must decide on what and how they tell their stroy and it does make sense the route that took. Especially when considering how much time and effort goes into a single frame on this production. Yes at the Q&A after the film they explained how they recruited painters from all over the world to achieve this and what an achievement it is! Thanks again and hello from the UK!
Three cheers for the noir story line. Fresh and edgy. I loved that the film quickly dealt with the famous flashy stuff and took time to explore the journey from mental illness, genius, and ultimately death. It takes it's time, and it's time well spent.
What I really loved about the movie is: (SPOILERS!) The main character never finds out the 'real' truth about Vincent, because he only hears what other people say, so the points of view and experiences are all subjective. That is just like how most of history is written: sources from the time are interpreted by (famous) experts, and that is what we learn. We cannot learn how it really went down, and no matter how obvious the source may be, everyone has a (slightly) different interpretation of it.
Saw it today and i became emotional while watching it because of how beautifull everything was. imo the story was good. Like, im actually glad they didnt "fill in" too much about van Gogh. After all, the only information we also know are from outside info, and thus we get someone else chasing the info thats known as well.
Yeah I know what you mean. I think this approach, having Roulan's character gives the audience something to latch on and relate too. I saw a really good BBC documentary that really explored the "Ear legacy" and his relationship with Gaugan. It was truly fascinating what they uncovered. But I do understand that the makers wanted to take a different approach and I still really loved this film!
Two days a go I was at the Loving Vincent exibition in Den Bosch (Netherlands) where you can take a look behind the scenes. I saw the many paintings that were used in the film and there was even an artist that worked for years on the film demonstrating the technique that was used. She only made the scene ‘Vincent and the doctor’ and worked two years on it. The film makers had to cut a lot from the movie about the personal life of Vincent. They hated to do this but it was necessary. For example they had a storyline about Vincents’ love life (he had something going on with an extravagant Italian lady) but it had to cut from the movie. They hated to do that because she was a very interesting caracter. It was also extreme hard to blend some of his paintings all together to one fluent piece. Because I took a really close look behind the scenes I realise even more how beautiful and well this movie is made and the great efford the artists took into this. It took 6 years to complete it. Amazing!
Can't wait to have my own copy of this wonderful movie and to feel over and over a part of his life through his paintings. Congratulations to the makers and artists who have bought his paintings to life and the magic of the light and movement in the brush strokes, so much better than the poor dull prints in books of his works, Thank you all.
I think we found out plenty about Vincent in the film but in a different way than we would from a biography. From a biography I would find out the fact of his life and what he did. In this film I'd like to think I got a feel of what kind of person he was.
Thanks for watching and for your comment. I liked the way you learn about him "with" or through the eyes of Roulan, it is effective, maybe a bit too on the nose at the end. However, I have seen some really interesting documentaries about Van Gogh which really delve into who he was and I would have liked to have seen some of it dramatized. Any way, Loving Vincent is still an amazing film!
+iwatched... go to Ariles in southern France....that's where he painted some of his most intense works. He was really influenced by the colors of Provence.
I LOVE this movie so much! The accents didn't bother me at all. I grew up hearing British or American accents in old movies where the "accents" would have naturally been maybe Italian, French, Native American, etc. You have to learn to "suspend your disbelief" when watching movies (or plays for that matter). Don't focus on the accents. Focus on the story. The acting. I am hoping that this movie will win the Best Animated Feature at the Oscars Sunday night. It will a sad thing if it doesn't. This movie deserves to win. It is truly a magical movie.
I hope you enjoy it. I have a feeling you will probably get more out of it than me. In my screening people oo'd and ah'd at certain scenes, I guess because they recognized relevant paintings. Thanks for watching my review and for commenting!
I think you've missed the point of the film, the title "Loving Vincent" is the point. Seven years in the making, oils on canvas upon many thousands of cells, beautifully capturing and integrating Vincent van Gogh's magnificent works of art. You didn't like the accents, I didn't even notice or care, so captured by what was on the screen , you wanted to know more about the slicing of his ear & giving it to a prostitute, read a biography, although there isn't much more information known. What you can do is to read all the loving letters between Vincent and his brother Theo. It was a privilege to watch this film.
I dearly love this movie. The accents, or lack of accents, should not bother people. Movies do not have to be “life perfect”! As an older person who loves movies from Silent Films to today’s movies, not having the right accent is just something that doesn’t bother me. I hope you took the time to watch all the behind the scenes work on how this movie was made. It is incredible! I’m ashamed to say that the stupid Academy Awards didn’t give it the Best Animated Oscar, which it surely deserved to win. Also, if you think about it, the movie is not just about Vincent, it’s about the man who was taking the letter to Theo, and his ultimate discover of who Vincent was and why he died, and why his art mattered so much. This movie has many layers to it. It is a work of art at its finest.
I named my Son Vincent after this artist. My Son also died a lone in the streets, I still have most of his works and his beautiful writings, though like the Artist, died broke and a lone. How can a world be so cruel? I'm afraid to watch it, knowing I will cry all through it.
Agree. Truly mesmerizing film though. One of the directors said at the Q&A that they are working on another film using this technique. Really looking forward to that! Thanks for watching my review and for your comment!
Great that the focus is not on the ear/madness thing. But a murder mystery? Vincent was one of the most intelligent people ever on the planet. He worked very hard and seriously abused his body ...lack of food, etc. His brother Theo supported him. When Theo got married, had a baby and at the same time had career and financial issues, Vincent topped himself so as not to be a burden.
It definitely mentions the fact that he felt like a burden to his brother in a really touching note near the end. I agree though, troubled but brilliant man!
I was pleasantly surprised that the storyline included the theory that he might have accidentally been murdered instead of committing suicide. I had watched a documentary in the US a few years ago about a newly published book suggesting this theory. It was very interesting and opened up a different perspective for me. So I’m actually glad this theory was covered in the movie.
I have to say, I don't agree with you saying there was a lack of character exploration concerning Vincent. To me, the film had two components, first to give a glimpse into Vincent's life, and second, to do this through the eyes of other characters. This helps to emphasize the mystery surrounding Vincent's person, and moreover, it allows the viewer to identify with the protagonist of the story who, himself, tries to get to know Vincent. So the film has to deal with both of these components: Vincent in and of himself, and the protagonist/viewer in their roles as observers, trying somehow to get an understanding of Vincent without ever being able to grasp the full picture or meaning. Vincent's story is as important as the protagonists's story because Vincent is defined by the latter (because we get to know Vincent through him and what he hears) as much as the latter is defined/changed by Vincent. I think that is what makes the film so interesting because it demonstrates the interconnectedness of everything, of life and death, of life and art, of people with one another. And because the film had to combine these two aspects with one another, I think it's fitting that they chose not to go too much into detail with Vincent's life and instead stuck to the most important or striking details that, at the same time, suited the narrative. Otherwise, it would have been a mere biopic. But I think the film has done quite well this way because it manged to combine the idea of a biopic with a mystery/crime story and on top of that, managed to deliver a message through this kind of storytelling.
CanObeyComedy it has also been suggested that he suffered from a rare form of epilepsy called Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. But none of that was covered in the film either.
In reply to your comment which I can't find the reply section about the accents, I emphasize again that we're happy there were no American accents in this film. Fed up of Yankee accents all the time yank yank yank !
Saw this yesterday and loved it!. Looks amazing and can't imagine how hard it must have been to make. The story is interesting enough but I can see some people saying it's too slow paced but personally I loved it. The accents didn't bother me at all. I thought the film is really based on events after his death and more how he affected each of the people and his legacy rather than a piece about Vincent's life.
Yeah I agree with that. I thought the last interaction between Roulan and his dad was a little on the nose but it does get its point across. Definitely will be buying this on Blu Ray and gawping at it again when it is released! I'm hoping the extras will have an in depth "making of" too!
Yes, an amazing film...I have watched it on my birthday the last three years, which is on March 30th like Van Gogh, I am also 5'7", dutch and I am a painter. I am mesmerized by this film, the story, the characters...the ONLY thing I didn't like or understand about this film, was that most of the characters were either dutch or French yet it seemed everyone had a British accent even though this production was Polish....go figure. Anyway, AMAZING film...worth seeing again and again and again....
Wonderful film watched it twice and ordered the dvd, UK release February 2018. Thought the story line was inventive using true characters and places. They have researched this period of van Goghs life using his letters and paintings. Surprised by the use of British accents, French accents would have given a more realistic feel.The soundtrack was great, particularly the beautifully sung Vincent at the end credits.
Yeah I'll be adding this one to my movie collection, no doubt about that. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed the accents, but still wonderful film! Yeah soundtracks and music scores is something I always forget to mention in my reviews, this one was so perfect for the film!
I was a bit surprised that it was in English at all, so the accents didnt bother me. I did wish the end credits song would have been the original version. And to be honest towards the end I was getting a headache from the intense visuals... Although I wouldn't have changed anything about the look of the film, it is very visually intense, which I love, but was giving me a headache by the end. The black and white sequences helped relieve this. Probably why they were in Black and White and more smoothly painted since he didn't paint like that. I wonder if the same thing could have been accomplished by making the flashbacks sketches. That would have been less intense, but could have remained in a way he actually worked. He did many sketches. I felt the story was enough for people not familiar with him and for those who know more there was a lot. It was fun to try to name all his paintings referenced. Did not mind that there were not more details in the story. There were a lot of nods to those who know more about him. If there were more details about his life more explicitly stated it would have been a bit cool, sure, but only would have made it more of a downer. Tragic stories, are tragic after all.
Josh Weigand I agree about the closing song. I would have preferred Don McLean’s original version. Also, I believe the soundtrack has the closing song titled as “Starry Starry Night,” which is incorrect. The correct title of the song is “Vincent.”
OMGoodness, I said verbatim what you did about the annoyance of the accents. But my other senses "vision & sound", were captivated from start to finish~ This ABSOLUTELY MUST WIN best animated film or I shall pitch an artistic hissy fit!
Vincent van Gogh is my favorite classic impressionist. I have to see this film! Thanks for this great review. It would have been great if this film was made in Dutch.
Literally my Favorite Animated film and it should have won best animated film at the oscars. I love this film and it is a masterpiece and it moved me to tears
I absolutely adored the movie. It truly added on to the mystery and beauty of Vincent's life and work. It really did him justice. I don't mean to be snobbish in any way, but Vincent is considered to be more of a post-impressionistic painter since his style was so unique and his brushstrokes were far more visible than those of Manet, Degas or Cassatt. He falls into the post-impressionistic category along with Gaugin for instance. Don't mind me, I just thought you would like to know, especially since you mentioned wanting to learn more about him :) I personally believe they told just enough about Vincent while leaving some parts a mystery. Whenever I see his work I think "who was this person that Vincent painted? Under what circumstances did he paint it? What was he thinking at the time?" Obviously, these are questions that will forever remain unanswered. But with this film they perhaps glazed over some parts in order for we ourselves to go on our own investigation into the life of this artist? I don't know but that is my interpretation. Your review was very professional, pointing out your own observations as to the likes and dislikes, which I admire. I'm glad that you did enjoy the movie. Sorry for my lengthy comment. Have a nice day :D
Malwa Zerek thanks for watching my review and for letting me know your thoughts / constructive feedback. I’m really glad you enjoyed it. Yes maybe my own ignorance meant I wanted more but I was still mesmerised by the craft and ambition.
Thanks for posting this! Great review, and I wish I'd found this earlier! I saw "Loving Vincent" yesterday, and I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment! Thanks again!
I like the story in the movie, it's another angle I don't know about Van Gogh. I feel like many people already know about his life because it can be found all over the internet if you are interested in him. I feel like you cannot really go deeper into his life because you don't know for sure what really happened to him. As for accents, it doesn't bother me at all because I am not native English speaker lol but since you mentioned that you wish it should be dubbed to make it more authentically, I feel if that's the case, it doesn't feel real to me. Which accents would that be I wonder because they are French? And Van Gogh is a dutch who also speaks French.
This movie is very beautiful, and painting it was an enormous undertaking. Unfortunately the story is down right sloppy. The writers are counting on the audience's ignorance of Vincent's life. Early in the movie a scene shows Vincent walking through a crowded cafe, and Toulouse Lautrec is seen sneering at Vincent to a couple of friends. Vincent and Toulouse were friends in real life. Lautrec painted a sensitive portrait of Vincent, Vincent invited Toulouse to join him when he left Paris for Arles and although Toulouse didn't join him, they continued to correspond by letter. I confess I couldn't finish the movie, it was clear that it would run roughshod over all the details of Vincent's life. Never mind the fact that there's little mystery whether Vincent killed himself. He it's clear from his letters to his brother that he was was suicidal, and it's pretty obvious from the ear story that he was self destructive. If I watch it again it will probably be with the sound off.
I watched the film as well and I did love it. I think it's so well done, and it is the greatest way to honour a painter: through his artworks. I don't think it pretended to be a biography of the artist, because obviously it shows very little of his life, but it does capture Vincent's "essence"; I think it tries to take the spectator to the artist's soul; it tries to help us comprehend the feelings that led Van Gogh to paint what he painted. and of course, the best way to do so is, as I said, through his paintings. Nevertheless, I do find a particular detail that should have been improved: in the footage of his last days, he appears with his both ears, which is a obvious historical and biographic mistake. Despite Van Gogh's biography not being the principal aim of the film, I think it is a important detail they should have had to care more about.
I just watched that film and i have to agree that there could be more information about Vincent's life. But I was satisfied with what i experienced anyway. The art is just beautiful and the main reason i wanted to see this film. It convinced me enough to have it on my birthday wishlist now haha
There is a debate whether he is a post-impressionist or an expressionist. But definitely his style is revolutionary. I would not say he is an impressionist.
Can anyone confirm this, Eleanor Tomlinson who played the inn keepers daughter has a distinct Northern Irish accent. Am I right or is there a part of London that have different accents?
Thanks for that. I'm a volunteer with the First Fortnight Festival #FFfest18 in the National Gallery of Ireland this evening. Chris O'Dowd, Saoire Rohan and other guests to be there. Looking forward to i. I enjoyed this review.
I watched--I watched the film-my opinion is that they should have used the animation only in flashback scenes. After a while the painting on film became a bit too much. It would be nice if half the film was real life.
There is hardly anything uglier, obnoxious, or abrasive than listening to a Frenchman speak English. It's incredible annoying!!!! I'd rather hear a German or Dutch person attempt to speak it! It was absolutely essential and a huge relief that they used nice mellow British accents in the film so as to not distract from the visual splendor that is Loving Vincent. Since they didn't use authentic accents it doesn't then even matter what accents they used and from what area of Britain. I loved the film it was like a natural drug to watch and eyeball candy supreme!!!!!!! I adored it so much and will see it again in the theatre and on and on through life like a classic such as Star Wars or The Shining.
iwatched... I've heard everything from temporal lobe epilepsy...to bi polar...to poisoning from absinthe...and so on and so forth....i at one point was in a institution...and actually consumed the paint they allowed me to use...
Is that my BROON from Got at 4.15 ??? Thanks for the review, will watch the movie but probably read vincents letters first, because I want to know more about him...
I thought the film did a good job at leaving it ambiguous- we will never know why and how Vincent can Gogh ended up shot. The murder accusations *SPOILER* were to make it hit harder once we see the doctors side- he made a simple mistake and paid for it. Also I'm glad it didn't go too much into his life- most artists, art students or even those who have just seen documentaries on Van Gogh know quite a bit about his life
A lot of people like the noir aspect and think it isn't necessary to focus so much on the character and perspective of Vincent Van Gogh himself. If it had been a regularly shot movie, I would agree, but the film is literally and painstakingly animated to portray the world through Van Gogh's artistic vision, so why go to all the trouble to portray the world through his eyes and then not tell the story through his eyes? It just didn't make any sense to me. I agree with the reviewer that I wanted to know more about the character of Vincent and the mental processes that lead to the vision animated in front of me. I also couldn't understand why they included so many accurate quotes and details about his life and the time period, and then funneled it into a fabricated narrative of a protagonist, who acts like a 1950's detective with a 1990's cockney accent, but is actually just some French postmaster's alcoholic son who show's up in a 19th century provincial village badgering strangers for personal information. Just...what?
I'm American, and they didn't bother me. As a huge _Poldark_ fan, a show with all kinds of accents, I just know that different people in the UK end up with different accents even in the same families. I was very happy that I could understand almost all the dialogue so it was a relief to know I didn't need subtitles. Not sure there are any with this movie (our theater has subtitle glasses you can use if you have a hard time hearing), but I think they would have taken away from the experience of the art so I was glad I had no problem in that regard and I could just watch and enjoy.
The accents should have been French or Dutch unless the characters are not French or Dutch of course. I agree that this was very bad to have fluffed up considering the amount of work that went into making it!
Phew, I'm not the only one who thinks that! It didn't ruin the film for me but I did wonder why they took that route. Such an easy fix! Thanks for watching my review and for the comment!
4:00 it's wrong that it's in english, so who cares. maybe there's a dutch and french dubbed version (or whatever language these people spoke), with subtitles
Aqw aq that is how British people pronounce it. It’s a little closer to the correct Dutch pronunciation. Except the Dutch don’t pronounce the end using an “f” sound, but more with a sound using the back of the throat, not unlike the way the some Germans make the “ch” sound. Or how the Scottish say “loch.” The French pronounced it Van Go because they struggled with using the correct Dutch pronunciation. Well, that’s what my high school French teacher told us. Lol. And Americans have always used the French pronunciation. Not sure why though.
This is the correct Dutch pronunciation and most likely how Vincent himself would have said his name. Or pretty close. th-cam.com/video/Ceo7E1R78yo/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/AlwO0xvm3fw/w-d-xo.html
how many hours were you prepared to sit in a movie? of course there is always more to cover and everyone would liek to see other aspects of his life. you can make dozens of movies all focused on something else in his life. they decided to cover his final moments.
You get it wrong when you look at it like a crime story, its how the people viewed vincents death and get caught up in what they want to believe. A great example for that is the postman who cant comprehend that vincent sent a letter saying he is in perfect condition and after six weeks kills himself. Even more so the woman that thought he was happy and didnt notice his despair and mental instability. She also tries to frame his doctor as a bad person (seemingly even more for herself than others) and hesitates to say he invited vincents brother over, shortly after saying that him coming was a very good thing and made vincent happy.
Thanks for watching my vid and for sharing your thoughts. I don’t disagree with you however, the directors describe it a Vincent Noir story so I don’t think it’s unreasonable to think of it as a detective story too. Great film either way though isn’t it?
@@iwatched You have a point. I still believe its most interesting how the other characters see vincent, and talk about how they think he felt though, but i get that others dont find that so interesting, or not so important for the film to have. Thank you for answering to my comment, im happy you aknowledge my opinion and respect it, not every youtuber does that.
groun thanks man, also for the feedback but can I ask, what is so offensive about the credit card? I put it in so that if I get a copyright notice I can say in my appeal that I have credited the distributors and it prevents anyone else using the footage.
it's not offensive, it's just in-your-face. you could make it a lot more discreet. it steals the screen, visually speaking. it's glaringly, bloody red and shrek green.
2:07 actually he got in a fight with someone and then in the fight hussar got cut off but they didn't want to go to the police so they made up that story.
LoL, to be fair I never said the accents were annoying, just weird that the film is set in France and the majority have an English accent, whilst others have a native accent. I mean the father is Irish and the son is London cockney!? Any way, it was just an observation and overall, I really loved this film. But thanks for the troll!

The combination of oil painting, technicality and acting over 5 years was a tremendous challenge, but with stunning results
Yeah it's jaw dropping!
Plus great soundtrack...
Just watched this film today. I agree about the accents but it didn't bother me all that much. And the fact that the film doesn't give that much info on Van Gogh didn't bother me at all. in fact I think that was the intention all along. This isn't a documentary after all. Like most people who aren't art scholars, I had the most basic knowledge of Van Gogh. And so did the main character of this movie
At the start of the story he didn't care much about him either. but the more he learned from the people who knew Van Gogh the more invested he became in the man himself, almost obsessed really. He's the ideal surrogate for the audience. I can see myself doing exactly what he did in the movie if it were me in his shoes. That made the various twists and turns in the story much more emotionally impacting for me.
Yeah I agree with you that the audiences "in" to the film is through Armand Roulin's character. It's nice to see his opinion change the more he learns. However, I do think that the dialogue at the end of the film, the conversation he has with his father is a little too on the nose. I'm paraphrasing but he says something like "I wonder if he will ever be truly appreciated". I almost expected him to turn to the camera and give a wink. Still, wonderful film though!
I'm so glad I heard the accents of British actors and not Americans. A Yank accent would have ruined the film.
Awesome review! Nong333
nong333 the accents were probably don't because it adds to the nuanced independent movie feel.
Where can i watch it?
This movie is pure poetry. The visuals alone make this a must-watch but the storyline is also intriguing and well done. I was crying uncontrollably at the end. Because it's sad; because he was misunderstood. PURE POETRY. GO SEE!! And I hate most movies.
Go listen to vincent by Don McLean and cry your eyes out. Maybe the movie already used it, i dont really know.
To reviewer: I don't think the movie is trying to be a biography, so I am not disappointed in that at all. On the contrary, I'm more intrigued now to find out more. And the difference in accents? Well, since it is all set in France, the movie should be in French. Since it is in the wrong language to begin with, who cares about the different English accents?
Was just an observation. Just saying I would have liked some consistency. Overall, a wonderful film and achievement!
I agree it wasn't intended to be biographical but rather a showcase of the cinematography and some intrigue concerning his death to keep the viewers interested.
If you haven't seen it I highly recommend the Doctor Who episode, "Vincent and the Doctor". It is a little goofy (because it is Doctor Who) but it is absolutely beautiful and I think they do Vincent a great service with the episode.
Breanne Boyd yes...quite pleased...with my appearance
+Breanne Boyd Thanks for the recommendation Breanne. I don't watch Doctor Who myself but I will try and seek this episode out!
Breanne Boyd oh yes I just love that episode.
Breanne Boyd That episode made me cry!
I agree and with BBC left wing rarely watch Dr Who but did so as I read there was a story about Vincent in it. It was a lovely (albeit pure fantasy) idea that finally TV/films for posterity, we his admirers had a scene (which I admit brought me to close to tears) where unlike in his life time the total feeling of utter failure, rejection and scorn, selling only one painting and that he was not a very good artist but the character see's how his genius, talent and innovation led to him now really being known and considered the most famous and influential painter of all time. In away Don McClean did the same with song Starry Starry Night. Regarding Loving Vincent, the British accents, the wasted hours of painting thousands of pictures for an animation that just made me feel giddy, a pointless story line which should have been about him - a total waste of time and effort.
I saw it in a theater tonight, and I loved it! It was gorgeous to watch, the mystery was engaging, and I didn't have a problem with their having left out things in Vincent's life. A movie that takes just 94 minutes is not going to have every detail about someone's life, so they had to go with a compelling story, and that took most of the time. But what it did do was make me interested in learning more about the artist, which is something I think any moviemaker should feel proud about. If it sends people to museums, libraries, or the internet to learn more, that's not a bad thing.
As a huge _Poldark_ fan, I was thrilled to see both Aidan Turner and Eleanor Tomlinson having roles in it, and it was interesting to see them painted as Van Gogh would have painted them, but with movement, too. This is a literal work of art, and when it was over, our audience applauded, something I hadn't seen in a long time. As an American, I didn't pay much attention to the accents either. We're used to hearing all kinds of accents. What was gratifying to me was that I could understand almost all the dialogue, a rare occurrence these days as I'm getting older.
BTW, I was happy to learn a woman from California, where I am, was one of the artists working on this project, a truly international achievement!
I'm really glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching my review... and for your thoughts and comment!
My knowledge is very limited when it comes to Van Gogh. I was hoping this film would expand upon what little I do know. But yes I do agree, film makers must decide on what and how they tell their stroy and it does make sense the route that took. Especially when considering how much time and effort goes into a single frame on this production.
Yes at the Q&A after the film they explained how they recruited painters from all over the world to achieve this and what an achievement it is!
Thanks again and hello from the UK!
Three cheers for the noir story line. Fresh and edgy. I loved that the film quickly dealt with the famous flashy stuff and took time to explore the journey from mental illness, genius, and ultimately death. It takes it's time, and it's time well spent.
Loved it beyond words, learned so much about Van Gogh that I didn't know and got to see his wonderful paintings.
I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching my review too!
Janet Aldrich thanks for watching my film..wink
What I really loved about the movie is: (SPOILERS!)
The main character never finds out the 'real' truth about Vincent, because he only hears what other people say, so the points of view and experiences are all subjective. That is just like how most of history is written: sources from the time are interpreted by (famous) experts, and that is what we learn. We cannot learn how it really went down, and no matter how obvious the source may be, everyone has a (slightly) different interpretation of it.
Yeah it’s like Chinese whispers.
Saw it today and i became emotional while watching it because of how beautifull everything was.
imo the story was good. Like, im actually glad they didnt "fill in" too much about van Gogh. After all, the only information we also know are from outside info, and thus we get someone else chasing the info thats known as well.
Yeah I know what you mean. I think this approach, having Roulan's character gives the audience something to latch on and relate too. I saw a really good BBC documentary that really explored the "Ear legacy" and his relationship with Gaugan. It was truly fascinating what they uncovered. But I do understand that the makers wanted to take a different approach and I still really loved this film!
Two days a go I was at the Loving Vincent exibition in Den Bosch (Netherlands) where you can take a look behind the scenes. I saw the many paintings that were used in the film and there was even an artist that worked for years on the film demonstrating the technique that was used. She only made the scene ‘Vincent and the doctor’ and worked two years on it. The film makers had to cut a lot from the movie about the personal life of Vincent. They hated to do this but it was necessary. For example they had a storyline about Vincents’ love life (he had something going on with an extravagant Italian lady) but it had to cut from the movie. They hated to do that because she was a very interesting caracter. It was also extreme hard to blend some of his paintings all together to one fluent piece. Because I took a really close look behind the scenes I realise even more how beautiful and well this movie is made and the great efford the artists took into this. It took 6 years to complete it. Amazing!
Can't wait to have my own copy of this wonderful movie and to feel over and over a part of his life through his paintings.
Congratulations to the makers and artists who have bought his paintings to life and the magic of the light and movement
in the brush strokes, so much better than the poor dull prints in books of his works, Thank you all.
Amazing work isn’t it. Thanks for watching my review and for commenting 🙏🏻
I think we found out plenty about Vincent in the film but in a different way than we would from a biography. From a biography I would find out the fact of his life and what he did. In this film I'd like to think I got a feel of what kind of person he was.
Thanks for watching and for your comment. I liked the way you learn about him "with" or through the eyes of Roulan, it is effective, maybe a bit too on the nose at the end. However, I have seen some really interesting documentaries about Van Gogh which really delve into who he was and I would have liked to have seen some of it dramatized. Any way, Loving Vincent is still an amazing film!
I didn't know I had a movie!
Vincent was unique as is this film. To have visited where he painted was an experience I will always remember as esoteric.
Ahh that's cool man! Where did you visit? He got around didn't he?
+iwatched... go to Ariles in southern France....that's where he painted some of his most intense works. He was really influenced by the colors of Provence.
I LOVE this movie so much! The accents didn't bother me at all. I grew up hearing British or American accents in old movies where the "accents" would have naturally been maybe Italian, French, Native American, etc. You have to learn to "suspend your disbelief" when watching movies (or plays for that matter). Don't focus on the accents. Focus on the story. The acting. I am hoping that this movie will win the Best Animated Feature at the Oscars Sunday night. It will a sad thing if it doesn't. This movie deserves to win. It is truly a magical movie.
Van Gogh was a Post-Impressionist, meaning he was painting counter to Impressionism.
Can't wait to see this wonderful film. Have loved Van Gogh's for ever
I hope you enjoy it. I have a feeling you will probably get more out of it than me. In my screening people oo'd and ah'd at certain scenes, I guess because they recognized relevant paintings. Thanks for watching my review and for commenting!
I think you've missed the point of the film, the title "Loving Vincent" is the point. Seven years in the making, oils on canvas upon many thousands of cells, beautifully capturing and integrating Vincent van Gogh's magnificent works of art. You didn't like the accents, I didn't even notice or care, so captured by what was on the screen , you wanted to know more about the slicing of his ear & giving it to a prostitute, read a biography, although there isn't much more information known. What you can do is to read all the loving letters between Vincent and his brother Theo.
It was a privilege to watch this film.
I dearly love this movie. The accents, or lack of accents, should not bother people. Movies do not have to be “life perfect”! As an older person who loves movies from Silent Films to today’s movies, not having the right accent is just something that doesn’t bother me. I hope you took the time to watch all the behind the scenes work on how this movie was made. It is incredible! I’m ashamed to say that the stupid Academy Awards didn’t give it the Best Animated Oscar, which it surely deserved to win. Also, if you think about it, the movie is not just about Vincent, it’s about the man who was taking the letter to Theo, and his ultimate discover of who Vincent was and why he died, and why his art mattered so much. This movie has many layers to it. It is a work of art at its finest.
I named my Son Vincent after this artist. My Son also died a lone in the streets, I still have most of his works and his beautiful writings, though like the Artist, died broke and a lone. How can a world be so cruel? I'm afraid to watch it, knowing I will cry all through it.
Man I'm truly sorry to hear of your loss! What sort of work did you son do? Is there any of it online?
I watched this movie in the theater. It was amazing to see it on a big screen
Looking forward in seeing Loving Vincent. I studied Starry Night in college, and explored his life and opuses.
Have you seen it? What did you think?
Yessss. I wish it was more about his life and less a murder/suicide/conspiracy/mystery.. beautiful work.
Agree. Truly mesmerizing film though. One of the directors said at the Q&A that they are working on another film using this technique. Really looking forward to that! Thanks for watching my review and for your comment!
About the accents - just think Connery haha. Great review dude.
It is impossible to explain how spectacular this film is. I watched it 10 times in 2 months
Hardcore man. 👍🏻 I need to see this one again!
Almost 100k views. Looks like you're smashing it. Great review Lave
Great that the focus is not on the ear/madness thing. But a murder mystery? Vincent was one of the most intelligent people ever on the planet. He worked very hard and seriously abused his body ...lack of food, etc. His brother Theo supported him. When Theo got married, had a baby and at the same time had career and financial issues, Vincent topped himself so as not to be a burden.
It definitely mentions the fact that he felt like a burden to his brother in a really touching note near the end. I agree though, troubled but brilliant man!
I was pleasantly surprised that the storyline included the theory that he might have accidentally been murdered instead of committing suicide. I had watched a documentary in the US a few years ago about a newly published book suggesting this theory. It was very interesting and opened up a different perspective for me. So I’m actually glad this theory was covered in the movie.
I think for non UK ppl it sounds as a British accent. Not many ppl can hear regional accent differences I suppose maybe thats why.
The trailer made me cry so much and I mean I wanted to see the movie myself but couldn't
I have to say, I don't agree with you saying there was a lack of character exploration concerning Vincent. To me, the film had two components, first to give a glimpse into Vincent's life, and second, to do this through the eyes of other characters. This helps to emphasize the mystery surrounding Vincent's person, and moreover, it allows the viewer to identify with the protagonist of the story who, himself, tries to get to know Vincent. So the film has to deal with both of these components: Vincent in and of himself, and the protagonist/viewer in their roles as observers, trying somehow to get an understanding of Vincent without ever being able to grasp the full picture or meaning. Vincent's story is as important as the protagonists's story because Vincent is defined by the latter (because we get to know Vincent through him and what he hears) as much as the latter is defined/changed by Vincent. I think that is what makes the film so interesting because it demonstrates the interconnectedness of everything, of life and death, of life and art, of people with one another. And because the film had to combine these two aspects with one another, I think it's fitting that they chose not to go too much into detail with Vincent's life and instead stuck to the most important or striking details that, at the same time, suited the narrative. Otherwise, it would have been a mere biopic. But I think the film has done quite well this way because it manged to combine the idea of a biopic with a mystery/crime story and on top of that, managed to deliver a message through this kind of storytelling.
The sweeping camera over the landscapes reminds me of the animated film The Snowman (1982). That was with done pastels tho.
An ode to the misunderstood ill and artistic. I hope this comforts me and i can relate
i dont think it suggested that he was bipolar at all
CanObeyComedy it has also been suggested that he suffered from a rare form of epilepsy called Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. But none of that was covered in the film either.
In reply to your comment which I can't find the reply section about the accents, I emphasize again that we're happy there were no American accents in this film. Fed up of Yankee accents all the time yank yank yank !
Saw this yesterday and loved it!. Looks amazing and can't imagine how hard it must have been to make. The story is interesting enough but I can see some people saying it's too slow paced but personally I loved it. The accents didn't bother me at all. I thought the film is really based on events after his death and more how he affected each of the people and his legacy rather than a piece about Vincent's life.
Yeah I agree with that. I thought the last interaction between Roulan and his dad was a little on the nose but it does get its point across. Definitely will be buying this on Blu Ray and gawping at it again when it is released! I'm hoping the extras will have an in depth "making of" too!
Yes, an amazing film...I have watched it on my birthday the last three years, which is on March 30th like Van Gogh, I am also 5'7", dutch and I am a painter. I am mesmerized by this film, the story, the characters...the ONLY thing I didn't like or understand about this film, was that most of the characters were either dutch or French yet it seemed everyone had a British accent even though this production was Polish....go figure. Anyway, AMAZING film...worth seeing again and again and again....
Wonderful film watched it twice and ordered the dvd, UK release February 2018. Thought the story line was inventive using true characters and places. They have researched this period of van Goghs life using his letters and paintings. Surprised by the use of British accents, French accents would have given a more realistic feel.The soundtrack was great, particularly the beautifully sung Vincent at the end credits.
Yeah I'll be adding this one to my movie collection, no doubt about that. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed the accents, but still wonderful film! Yeah soundtracks and music scores is something I always forget to mention in my reviews, this one was so perfect for the film!
I was a bit surprised that it was in English at all, so the accents didnt bother me. I did wish the end credits song would have been the original version. And to be honest towards the end I was getting a headache from the intense visuals... Although I wouldn't have changed anything about the look of the film, it is very visually intense, which I love, but was giving me a headache by the end. The black and white sequences helped relieve this. Probably why they were in Black and White and more smoothly painted since he didn't paint like that. I wonder if the same thing could have been accomplished by making the flashbacks sketches. That would have been less intense, but could have remained in a way he actually worked. He did many sketches. I felt the story was enough for people not familiar with him and for those who know more there was a lot. It was fun to try to name all his paintings referenced. Did not mind that there were not more details in the story. There were a lot of nods to those who know more about him. If there were more details about his life more explicitly stated it would have been a bit cool, sure, but only would have made it more of a downer. Tragic stories, are tragic after all.
Josh Weigand I agree about the closing song. I would have preferred Don McLean’s original version. Also, I believe the soundtrack has the closing song titled as “Starry Starry Night,” which is incorrect. The correct title of the song is “Vincent.”
OMGoodness, I said verbatim what you did about the annoyance of the accents. But my other senses "vision & sound", were captivated from start to finish~ This ABSOLUTELY MUST WIN best animated film or I shall pitch an artistic hissy fit!
LoL, I was rooting for it too. Shame!
Vincent van Gogh is my favorite classic impressionist. I have to see this film! Thanks for this great review. It would have been great if this film was made in Dutch.
Literally my Favorite Animated film and it should have won best animated film at the oscars. I love this film and it is a masterpiece and it moved me to tears
Yeah I was rooting for this one at the Oscars.
I absolutely adored the movie. It truly added on to the mystery and beauty of Vincent's life and work. It really did him justice.
I don't mean to be snobbish in any way, but Vincent is considered to be more of a post-impressionistic painter since his style was so unique and his brushstrokes were far more visible than those of Manet, Degas or Cassatt. He falls into the post-impressionistic category along with Gaugin for instance. Don't mind me, I just thought you would like to know, especially since you mentioned wanting to learn more about him :)
I personally believe they told just enough about Vincent while leaving some parts a mystery. Whenever I see his work I think "who was this person that Vincent painted? Under what circumstances did he paint it? What was he thinking at the time?" Obviously, these are questions that will forever remain unanswered. But with this film they perhaps glazed over some parts in order for we ourselves to go on our own investigation into the life of this artist?
I don't know but that is my interpretation. Your review was very professional, pointing out your own observations as to the likes and dislikes, which I admire. I'm glad that you did enjoy the movie. Sorry for my lengthy comment. Have a nice day :D
Malwa Zerek thanks for watching my review and for letting me know your thoughts / constructive feedback. I’m really glad you enjoyed it. Yes maybe my own ignorance meant I wanted more but I was still mesmerised by the craft and ambition.
Thanks for posting this! Great review, and I wish I'd found this earlier! I saw "Loving Vincent" yesterday, and I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment! Thanks again!
Thanks for watching and for commenting! Much appreciated.
This movie was good , the animation is simply incredible! This or Coco should win best Oscar for Animated feature film.
We don't get Coco until next year unfortunately! But yeah, this film was visually mesmerizing!
Neil Tomlinson I strongly recommend The Breadwinner which is nominated for an Oscar.
I like the story in the movie, it's another angle I don't know about Van Gogh. I feel like many people already know about his life because it can be found all over the internet if you are interested in him. I feel like you cannot really go deeper into his life because you don't know for sure what really happened to him.
As for accents, it doesn't bother me at all because I am not native English speaker lol but since you mentioned that you wish it should be dubbed to make it more authentically, I feel if that's the case, it doesn't feel real to me. Which accents would that be I wonder because they are French? And Van Gogh is a dutch who also speaks French.
check lust for life from 1956
This movie is very beautiful, and painting it was an enormous undertaking. Unfortunately the story is down right sloppy. The writers are counting on the audience's ignorance of Vincent's life. Early in the movie a scene shows Vincent walking through a crowded cafe, and Toulouse Lautrec is seen sneering at Vincent to a couple of friends. Vincent and Toulouse were friends in real life. Lautrec painted a sensitive portrait of Vincent, Vincent invited Toulouse to join him when he left Paris for Arles and although Toulouse didn't join him, they continued to correspond by letter. I confess I couldn't finish the movie, it was clear that it would run roughshod over all the details of Vincent's life. Never mind the fact that there's little mystery whether Vincent killed himself. He it's clear from his letters to his brother that he was was suicidal, and it's pretty obvious from the ear story that he was self destructive. If I watch it again it will probably be with the sound off.
I watched the film as well and I did love it. I think it's so well done, and it is the greatest way to honour a painter: through his artworks. I don't think it pretended to be a biography of the artist, because obviously it shows very little of his life, but it does capture Vincent's "essence"; I think it tries to take the spectator to the artist's soul; it tries to help us comprehend the feelings that led Van Gogh to paint what he painted. and of course, the best way to do so is, as I said, through his paintings. Nevertheless, I do find a particular detail that should have been improved: in the footage of his last days, he appears with his both ears, which is a obvious historical and biographic mistake. Despite Van Gogh's biography not being the principal aim of the film, I think it is a important detail they should have had to care more about.
Great spot, I haven’t seen it since but from what I can remember I think you’re right!
I just watched that film and i have to agree that there could be more information about Vincent's life. But I was satisfied with what i experienced anyway. The art is just beautiful and the main reason i wanted to see this film.
It convinced me enough to have it on my birthday wishlist now haha
Thanks for watching my review and for commenting. Totally agree with you
Where can I get the full movie
How can we seee this movie
Do you have any link of full movie
Thanks so much, you've convinced me to watch this, not that I wasn't willing to before.
as Polish i don`t mind accents in UK version...however i don`t like Polish dubbing
I do like the accent of the british language.I am native of Poland:)
There is a debate whether he is a post-impressionist or an expressionist. But definitely his style is revolutionary. I would not say he is an impressionist.
Can anyone confirm this, Eleanor Tomlinson who played the inn keepers daughter has a distinct Northern Irish accent. Am I right or is there a part of London that have different accents?
Thanks for that. I'm a volunteer with the First Fortnight Festival #FFfest18 in the National Gallery of Ireland this evening. Chris O'Dowd, Saoire Rohan and other guests to be there. Looking forward to i. I enjoyed this review.
This had to take like 4-7 years
It took 8 I’m told
the visuals are so trippy it will send a sober man into a psychotic meltdown
I watched--I watched the film-my opinion is that they should have used the animation only in flashback scenes. After a while the painting on film became a bit too much. It would be nice if half the film was real life.
I love how they captured his suffering soul
Yeah agree. Plus every frame is painted. Crazy!
There is hardly anything uglier, obnoxious, or abrasive than listening to a Frenchman speak English. It's incredible annoying!!!! I'd rather hear a German or Dutch person attempt to speak it! It was absolutely essential and a huge relief that they used nice mellow British accents in the film so as to not distract from the visual splendor that is Loving Vincent. Since they didn't use authentic accents it doesn't then even matter what accents they used and from what area of Britain. I loved the film it was like a natural drug to watch and eyeball candy supreme!!!!!!! I adored it so much and will see it again in the theatre and on and on through life like a classic such as Star Wars or The Shining.
Beautiful work
Very emotional could feel Vincent's pain 😢🎨
Yep stunning film!
Thanks for the review. Very helpful. I'm about to watch it now I think. 😃
mvannorden02 your welcome in advance
+the vincent van gogh chronicles Why did you cut your ear off?
iwatched... I've heard everything from temporal lobe epilepsy...to bi polar...to poisoning from absinthe...and so on and so forth....i at one point was in a institution...and actually consumed the paint they allowed me to use...
I really appreciate your honest assessment of what looks like a glorious film. Great review. Take care and cheers. 🌹
Thanks for watching and for the comment! Have a nice day!
The accent thing is called art
Is that my BROON from Got at 4.15 ???
Thanks for the review, will watch the movie but probably read vincents letters first, because I want to know more about him...
Jerome himself!
Thanks for watching my review, I hope you do watch the movie, the visuals alone are worth it. Incredible! ✌🏻👍🏻
I thought the film did a good job at leaving it ambiguous- we will never know why and how Vincent can Gogh ended up shot. The murder accusations *SPOILER* were to make it hit harder once we see the doctors side- he made a simple mistake and paid for it. Also I'm glad it didn't go too much into his life- most artists, art students or even those who have just seen documentaries on Van Gogh know quite a bit about his life
I see what you mean, although I thought they heavily suggested who may have shot him. Hey-ho, still a wonderful film!
Ingilizce bilmiyorum, butun bu anlatilanlari turkce dinlemek istiyorum ne yapmak lazim?????SOS😯😕😢
Wait. Loving Vincent Was made in 2017! I THOUGHT IT WAS FROM 1940'S LIKE CARTOON FEEL. CONGRATS WHO Painted this movie.
There was quite a lot of people I think!
A lot of people like the noir aspect and think it isn't necessary to focus so much on the character and perspective of Vincent Van Gogh himself. If it had been a regularly shot movie, I would agree, but the film is literally and painstakingly animated to portray the world through Van Gogh's artistic vision, so why go to all the trouble to portray the world through his eyes and then not tell the story through his eyes? It just didn't make any sense to me. I agree with the reviewer that I wanted to know more about the character of Vincent and the mental processes that lead to the vision animated in front of me. I also couldn't understand why they included so many accurate quotes and details about his life and the time period, and then funneled it into a fabricated narrative of a protagonist, who acts like a 1950's detective with a 1990's cockney accent, but is actually just some French postmaster's alcoholic son who show's up in a 19th century provincial village badgering strangers for personal information. Just...what?
Lol. Still a mesmerising watch though. Thanks for checking out my review and for the awesome comment 🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Oh. I have to pay attention to all the accents he mentions. Usually, they all sound the same to me. lol
Can someone provide me the link of Loving Vincent movie
If you can see it in the cinema, it deserves to be seen on the BIG screen!
Well done review. I can’t wait to see it.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it. It is mesmerizing!
It's Seer-sha Ronan, not Swearisha Ronan btw
it’s beautiful but I wanted to watch a movie about Van Gogh, this movie is more about conspiracies surrounding his death - & for what????
Accents? Wait... im not native so i dont know which is irish accent or london accent 😂😂
If you’re not from the UK will the accents bug you? Cause I know nothing of different accents haha
Maybe not. I'm not sure how this will be presented in non-English Speaking Countries. It would be a shame if it is subtitled.
yeah I agree, as an American I know nothing of European accents unless they sound AWFUl I don't think ill notice
I'm American, and they didn't bother me. As a huge _Poldark_ fan, a show with all kinds of accents, I just know that different people in the UK end up with different accents even in the same families. I was very happy that I could understand almost all the dialogue so it was a relief to know I didn't need subtitles. Not sure there are any with this movie (our theater has subtitle glasses you can use if you have a hard time hearing), but I think they would have taken away from the experience of the art so I was glad I had no problem in that regard and I could just watch and enjoy.
Yes. I may not be British but I know the difference between a french and British accent
Didn’t bother me but I watch a lot of British tv/movies.
Good review. Thank you.
Thanks for watching and for commenting! Much appreciated!
I absolutely loved this film.
Glad to hear it 👍🏻
Spot on review. Go see the movie! 👍👍
Thanks and agree!
The accents should have been French or Dutch unless the characters are not French or Dutch of course. I agree that this was very bad to have fluffed up considering the amount of work that went into making it!
Phew, I'm not the only one who thinks that! It didn't ruin the film for me but I did wonder why they took that route. Such an easy fix! Thanks for watching my review and for the comment!
Vicent lives in etten thats the town whare i live its in the neterlands
Cool! 😎
theo is his father, not his brother
His father and brother were both called Theo.
4:00 it's wrong that it's in english, so who cares. maybe there's a dutch and french dubbed version (or whatever language these people spoke), with subtitles
Who is this Vincent van Koff he is talking about?
Aqw aq that is how British people pronounce it. It’s a little closer to the correct Dutch pronunciation. Except the Dutch don’t pronounce the end using an “f” sound, but more with a sound using the back of the throat, not unlike the way the some Germans make the “ch” sound. Or how the Scottish say “loch.”
The French pronounced it Van Go because they struggled with using the correct Dutch pronunciation. Well, that’s what my high school French teacher told us. Lol. And Americans have always used the French pronunciation. Not sure why though.
This is the correct Dutch pronunciation and most likely how Vincent himself would have said his name. Or pretty close.

how many hours were you prepared to sit in a movie? of course there is always more to cover and everyone would liek to see other aspects of his life. you can make dozens of movies all focused on something else in his life. they decided to cover his final moments.
I'm a novice when it comes to Van Gough. So three hours.
First film to make me cry in awhile
Yeah the end voice over about being a "burden"... arrow to the chest!
The film of the century.
A visual treat! 😊 thanks for watching my review of it, much appreciated 🙏🏻👍🏻
Chris O’ Dowd is so funny
Yeah even in The Cloverfield Paradox!
Chale es el ibai pelon e ingles
You get it wrong when you look at it like a crime story, its how the people viewed vincents death and get caught up in what they want to believe. A great example for that is the postman who cant comprehend that vincent sent a letter saying he is in perfect condition and after six weeks kills himself. Even more so the woman that thought he was happy and didnt notice his despair and mental instability. She also tries to frame his doctor as a bad person (seemingly even more for herself than others) and hesitates to say he invited vincents brother over,
shortly after saying that him coming was a very good thing and made vincent happy.
Thanks for watching my vid and for sharing your thoughts. I don’t disagree with you however, the directors describe it a Vincent Noir story so I don’t think it’s unreasonable to think of it as a detective story too. Great film either way though isn’t it?
@@iwatched
You have a point.
I still believe its most interesting how the other characters see vincent, and talk about how they think he felt though, but i get that others dont find that so interesting, or not so important for the film to have. Thank you for answering to my comment, im happy you aknowledge my opinion and respect it, not every youtuber does that.
I want to watch this film....😒
You should, it’s a visual treat!
cool review, but that big, red trademark thing on the bottom left is just so obnoxious dude
groun thanks man, also for the feedback but can I ask, what is so offensive about the credit card? I put it in so that if I get a copyright notice I can say in my appeal that I have credited the distributors and it prevents anyone else using the footage.
it's not offensive, it's just in-your-face. you could make it a lot more discreet. it steals the screen, visually speaking. it's glaringly, bloody red and shrek green.
Thanks for the input, I'll think about a redesign.
Van Goth
Andy Collados Van Go, Van Goch, Van Gokh. Take your pick.
Ayyy yo i go to art school an my teacher worked on this movie i
⚠ SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT ⚠
Are you saying I spoiled that Vincent Van Gogh dies?
and you cant know how their voices actually sounded, so why waste time and money trying to make that spot on, definitely visuals were more important,
True, but you can infer that French people have French accents.
2:07 actually he got in a fight with someone and then in the fight hussar got cut off but they didn't want to go to the police so they made up that story.
Btw he killed himself!! *cries*
🙄
Your accent in .5 a second annoyed me more than any of the ones in this masterpiece. Those that can't make art, critique it. You, sir, are exhibit 1A
LoL, to be fair I never said the accents were annoying, just weird that the film is set in France and the majority have an English accent, whilst others have a native accent. I mean the father is Irish and the son is London cockney!? Any way, it was just an observation and overall, I really loved this film. But thanks for the troll!
This movie was complete and absolute garbage.
Shut up no taste Nazi
