Loving Vincent is out in cinemas this week, so here's a little bonus that we've saved from our chat with composer Clint Mansell.

Here, he reveals just how determined directors Dorota and Hugh were to secure his services.

We've got mute to come back again working with Duncan and then loving Vincent which is this

you know again you were talking about how people doing things differently and approaching things

and the film's been shot and then each frame has been painted by over 125 artists and you've done

the music for it. Yeah I mean that was a real passion project for Dorota who wrote and directed it

with her husband Hugh. Circumstance was that Hugh won an Oscar in 2008 for a short of Peter and the

Wolf. Oh, wow. Yeah. He didn't know Dorota at this point. He's in England doing this. She's in Poland,

broke, trying to figure out some ideas of what she wanted to do. She was a painter, but she was sort of getting into digital stuff.

And she had this idea of doing a short about Van Gogh, Van Gogh, whatever you want to call him.

And she got in touch with Hugh's company and sent them the bits and they looked at it.

And Hugh goes, this should actually be a feature, you know.

And it took them eight years, 2008 to 2016, 17, 8 years, you know. But all through that whole time she said, nobody's

scoring this film except for Clint. The

The The The They kept coming to me, and I don't even know what this film is, what's going on, you know.

And then when we played the barbecue and an knife and one of the producers came down. And then they gave me the

script and I go, okay, I can kind of see this now. And then I looked at the stuff, I'm going

like, wow, this is incredible, you know. And I don't know if it's ego or whatever it is, but, you know,

on my deathbed, I hope I can look over and go like, that's a pilot of decent work I'm really proud of. I don't look over and see some shareholders bank account, you know, to mean that I've pumped up.

Not that a great deal of my films make money.

But, you know, the things that inspire you are the things that inspire you.

Yeah.
