VAN GOGH: POETS AND LOVERS

2023 | Dir David Bickerstaff | 90m | UK

With the National Gallery currently hosting a “once-in-a-century” exhibition of the great artist’s work, Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers gives art and film lovers alike a preview of what to expect, and a new understanding of the legend as a human being. This new documentary tells the story of the two years Van Gogh spent in the south of France, from the new professional and personal connections he made there, to the radical works he painted during this all-important time in his career.
The 2.30pm screening is subtitled for those with hearing loss (HOH).

This Month we present:
LOVING VINCENT (12A) – 2017 UK/Poland 94 min

Directors: Dorota Kobiela, Hugh Welchman
Stars: Douglas Booth, Jerome Flynn, Helen McCrory, Saoirse Ronan

Animated by 115 artists creating 65,000 oil paintings in the style of the artist, Loving Vincent relates the final weeks of Van Gogh’s life as a detective story as a young man tries to deliver Vincent’s last letter, and questions those who knew him about the circumstances of his death. The first animation of its kind, and a real labour of love, the film’s technique truly does justice to the unique genius of one of the world’s best-loved painters.
