Husband and wife Hugh and D.K. The Welchmans invented “the slowest form of filmmaking in 120 years of cinema.” It may not sound like something to be proud of, but it is. Farmersher sequel to the 2017 Oscar-nominated film. Dear Vincent, features over 40,000 oil paintings, each hand painted by a team of 100 different artists in approximately four hours and carefully assembled into a highly intricate and visually stunning work of art.
The film brings to life the novel by Nobel Prize winner Władysław Reymont – the Polish equivalent Tess of the D’Urbervilles. Originally published in four parts between 1904 and 1909, it tells the story of a 19th-century Polish village plagued by rural hardship and cruel gossip.
Jagna (Kamila Urzendowska) is a local beauty, married to a strict, old, rich landowner Maciej (Miroslav Baka), but in love with his rude married son Antek (Robert Gulaczyk, who played Van Gogh). I love Vincentius). While workers plow and cultivate the unforgiving landscape, old women plot marriages and increased profits in a world where religious protocols and patriarchal values dictate everything. Jugna’s beauty may lift her out of poverty, but the mistrust of the villagers may be her undoing again.
Jugna plays Madame Bovary: certainly a victim of her time (she is a master of cutting art paper – beautiful, but not very useful in a bad harvest), but at the same time a naive romantic, blind to the inevitable consequences of her passions. including the breakdown of another woman’s marriage. This is an interesting development because, just like the villagers, there are times when we feel that Jugna’s humiliation may be deserved. And when the situation gets out of control, we intervene. Don’t we all love witch hunts?
The extraordinary animation is not only beautiful, but also emotionally moving and perfectly suited to author Reymont’s original thematic battle between colorful, impressionistic descriptions of nature and the brutal realism of village life. In an early scene, a sick cow is slaughtered as thick red blood flows across the screen. One particularly kaleidoscopic scene involves a passionate dance between Jagna and Antek at an inn (“Play Volta!”) as the villagers look sick with excitement, not so much about the romance but about the impending troubles Jagna will face. when her husband comes. V.
Typically, oil aesthetics suit a febrile atmosphere. In a society where there is so little, there is always a lot at stake. It distracted me at times; There were moments when Jugna’s humiliation was so intense that I would have preferred the maximum realism of live action. Although this dissonance may be what the directors intended: when the attack is animated, an additional layer of disbelief is created.
Overall, however, it is a remarkable achievement, a strange and fascinating dance between different art forms from different countries and centuries.
