Loving Vincent
Loving Vincent, the world’s first fully painted feature film, premiers in Budapest on December 1st at the Corvin Cinema. On 27th July 1890, a gaunt figure stumbled down a drowsy high street at twilight in the small French country town of Auvers. The man was carrying nothing; his hands clasped to a fresh bullet wound leaking blood from his belly. This was Vincent van Gogh, then a little known artist, now the most famous painter in the world. His tragic death has long been known – what has remained a mystery is how and why he came to be shot. Loving Vincent tells that story, through depictions of his amazing artworks.
