A one-of-a-kind hand-painted film released before generative AI could kill it, this masterpiece of animation is only hindered by its narrative. While novel in how it incorporates Van Gogh's scenes into settings and characters, it jumps through hoops that makes the getting-there fairly convoluted with detours & irrelevant details. As an international experiment from first-timers, though, it's a big success -- one I'll be referencing for the rest of my life. I hope to see it in a theater one day.
