Loving Vincent - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Many of the characters Armand interviews are the subjects of real Van Gogh portraits. The casting was done to reflect the likenesses in the paintings. For viewers familiar with Van Gogh's work, seeing characters like Postman Joseph Roulin, Adeline Ravoux, and Dr. Gachet is like watching the actual portraits come to life and tell their story. The end credits explicitly pair the animated characters with their corresponding paintings.

The film doesn't just mimic Van Gogh's style; it directly recreates many of his most famous paintings as settings for scenes. Locations such as "Café Terrace at Night," "The Starry Night Over the Rhône," and "Bedroom in Arles" are not just referenced but serve as the actual, living backdrops for the narrative, allowing the audience to literally step inside the masterpieces.
