Film Description

Five years after earning an Oscar nomination for their film Loving Vincent, which revolved around the work of Vincent van Gogh, directors DK Welchman and Hugh Welchman deliver another truly impressive animated work. Based on a novel about life in an early 19th century Polish village of peasant farmers, The Peasants again melds oil paintings (some 40,000 of them) over live-action footage of actors to become a dynamic, immersive drama that brings the pleasures and pains of the past to ravishing life.
