A
You've probably never seen a movie quite like this one.Loving Vincent is the first animated film in the world to be made entirely with paintings.Every scene uses oil paint on canvas（画布）.Twelve paintings were needed just to show one second of the film.It took more than 100 artists seven years to complete it.
The movie has gotten good reviews since it came out on the Chinese mainland on December 8th.Its box office（票房） earnings have reached over ＄20 million（132.43 million yuan） worldwide.
The film tells the story of the final months of famous Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh（1853-1890）.The story is told through his paintings and the characters in them.It shows his death as being part of a murder mystery，as Hollywood Reporter said.A young man named Armand Roulin serves as both detective and storyteller.A year after the death of Vincent van Gogh，Armand is instructed by his father，Postman Joseph Roulin，to personally deliver a letter to Vincent's brother，Theo.Armand isn't fond of Van Gogh，but to please his father he agrees to give the letter，travelling across Europe to the town where Vincent spent his final months.When he finds that Theo has died of a disease shortly after his brother，he visits several important people in Van Gogh's life to find out the truth behind his death.He talks with Van Gogh's friend，a doctor，and the owner of the hotel he lived in.But each person tells a different story.
There are many examples of the artist's work in the movie.It shows over120 of his paintings，such as The Night Cafe，Wheatfield with Crows，and The Starry Night.It's no wonder Empire Magazine called it"one of the most beautiful films of 2017".
