“Stunning, a flawlessly executed journey
through Van Gogh’s art.”—J.R. Jones, Chicago Reader
2017, Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman, UK/Poland, 95 min.
With Douglas Booth, Robert Gulaczyk, Saoirse Ronan
65,000 hand-painted frames, extrapolated from Van Gogh’s works, bring the painter’s world to life in all its pulsating, thickly colored glory. More than a technical stunt, the film is a compelling, thoroughly researched dramatization of Van Gogh’s life, concentrating on his final weeks and rendered in CITIZEN KANE-flashbacks, as a postman’s son seeks to unravel the truth about the painter’s contradictory personality and still-unexplained death. In English. DCP digital.
