Loving Vincent is the upcoming biographical animated film from newcomer directors Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman. The movie follows Armand Roulin (Douglas Booth), the son of an acquaintance of Vincent Van Gogh, as he attempts to deliver a letter from the painter following van Gogh’s death.

A film unlike any other, Loving Vincent is entirely hand painted – each of the movie’s 65,000 frames is an oil painting on a canvas created using the same techniques as Vincent van Gogh. The film will be released worldwide from early October this year.

In addition to being a wonder for the eyes, Loving Vincent is a treat for the ears. Scoring duties fell to English composer Clint Mansell (Requiem For A Dream, Black Swan), who has crafted a masterpiece. Loving Vincent demands to be heard. A beautiful rendition of « Starry Starry Night » performed by Lianne La Havas that serves as the film’s credit song is also included.

In addition to CD and digital releases, Loving Vincent will also be made available on vinyl with packaging designed by director Dorota Kobiela. The LP is pressed on a single 180g colour vinyl featuring the entirety of Clint Mansell’s score housed in a striking dress jacket with interior sleeve featuring liner notes from Clint. With audio mastered specifically for the vinyl format and a presentation that is unparalleled, Loving Vincent will be a must-have for music aficionados.
