movie, The Peasants
Those who have seen the Polish husband and wife team Hugh Welchman and Dorota Kobiela’s 2017 documentary “Loving Vincent” will know why. An animated masterwork about Vincent van Gogh, the duo’s groundbreaking celebration and investigation of the timeless artist ambitiously brought his paintings to the big screen, while creating animated oil paintings out of the actual performances that were filmed in live action.
“The Peasants” (adapted from Władysław Stanisław Reymont’s colossal 1904 novel of over 1000 pages) is even more ambitious in its scale and scope. Reportedly, more than 100 painting animators worked on the film once it was first shot in live-action, creating at least 40,000 handmade oil paintings over those existing photographic images. Add to that the logistics of Covid and the war in Ukraine (where a big group of the directors’ painters apparently were) that burdened the production, and the achievement is an undeniably massive one. Then again, here is the second thing you need to know about “The Peasants”: Unlike in “Loving Vincent,” where the form was so deeply enmeshed with the film’s theme, the painterly animation here never feels all that essential. As tempting as it is, I wouldn’t go as far as calling it a gimmick, but the cumulative effect of paintings of live-action performances increasingly becomes a distracting one in Welchman and Kobiela’s latest effort.
