Movie Description
Vincent Van Gogh is famous for selling only one painting in his own lifetime and for slicing off part of his own ear in a fit of madness. But as this intimate look at the artist reveals, there was much more to the man. Van Gogh's surprisingly honest and eloquent letters to his brother provide the narration (as read by the masterly actor John Hurt), and they allow this critically acclaimed film to effectively explore Van Gogh's turbulent inner life. Gifted filmmaker Paul Cox intersperses vivid images of the places Van Gogh lived and worked with the artist's own sketches and paintings, creating a fascinating, insightful tribute to one of art's most extraordinary figures.
