There's no doubt that this painstaking exploration of the complicated life and controversial death of one of the world's greatest artists, Vincent Van Gogh, that took more than six years to create -animation composed of 65,000 painted frames made with the help of 125 specially trained painters, is a striking and unique work of visual brilliance. But the story is too wafer thin to be a contender for cinematic ascendancy.
