Synopsis
Jagna is a young woman determined to forge her own path in a late 19th century Polish village – a hotbed of gossip and on-going feuds, held together, rich and poor, by adherence to colorful traditions and deep-rooted patriarchy.. The film is made up of 40,000 paintings and they used 6 paintings per 1 second of footage.
The painting job took 1350 liters/300 gallons of paint
An adaptation of a Nobel prize-winning novel from the makers of Loving Vincent using the same rotoscoped oil painting animation style, that’s enough to be interested in this. But with the experience from Loving Vincent, they set out to make it even better.
Even though, the story is a classic European village tragedy, the music and animation take it to another level
With dynamic camera movements that are meant to give an experience rooted in Polish culture and village life, this movie does an incredible job of immersing the viewers in this world. Kamila Urzedowska is incredible as Jagna, the village beauty, whose life is decided by others at every step yet can’t take away her free-spiritedness, even with all the shackles.
That ending sequence is just so incredibly shot and animated that it’s impossible to not be moved after watching this
Much of the film would’ve been a lot harder to watch if it was live-action, even though it is quite hard even in this rotoscoped animated style.
