Upgrades from standard 8-bit video to dramatically reduce color banding. It allows for smoother gradients in the film's shifting oil-paint colors.
x265 (HEVC) – Superior quality at a smaller file size.
“What makes Loving Vincent radical is its refusal to hide its making. Unlike CGI animation, which smooths over human error, this film celebrates the wobble, the visible paint ridge, the slight mismatch of color between frames. In doing so, it answers Van Gogh’s lifelong fear—that his work was clumsy or unfinished—by insisting that those very ‘imperfections’ are proof of life. The 10-bit color depth of a Blu-ray rip may preserve the vibrancy of ‘Starry Night,’ but it cannot preserve the weight of the brush that first pushed that ultramarine. The film thus becomes a requiem not just for Vincent, but for a tactile world being flattened by pixels.”
