Respostas pessoais
O filme Com 
amor, Van Gogh 
(Loving Vincent), 
de Dorota Kobiela 
e Hugh Welchman, 
narra a história de 
um homem que 
investiga a vida 
pessoal de Van 
Gogh na cidade 
francesa de Arles, 
um ano após a 
morte do artista. 
Feito com a técnica 
de pintura a óleo, 
como nos quadros 
de Van Gogh, a 
animação contou 
com uma equipe de 
115 pintores para 
produzir cada um 
dos 65 mil quadros 
de filme (em inglês, 
movie frames) nesse 
recurso artístico.
