Vincent: The Life and Death of Vincent Van Gogh
Called "the best testimonial a Dutch master could ask for" (Washington Post), and "the most romantic and yet the most sensible documentary about a painter" (Chicago Sun Times), VINCENT: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF VINCENT VAN GOGH is a richly textured study of one of the greatest artists of all time.
One of the Top 10 documentaries the year it was released, this brilliant portrait of Vincent Van Gogh is a shattering journey through the life of a tortured genius who, spurned in his own time, became the single most influential artist of modern history. Though he created 1,800 works during his decade-long career, he sold only one painting in his lifetime. The story of his turbulent, often painful life is told through his own letters, written to his brother Theo from 1872 until his death in 1890, eloquently read by actor John Hurt. Van Gogh's inner struggles and development as an artist are punctuated by his sketches, drawings and paintings, from his failed foray into the clergy and his days as a young artist in Paris to his descent into madness in the South of France and his death by his brother's side.
Written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Paul Cox, VINCENT: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF VINCENT VAN GOGH is a passionate tribute to the life, mind and art of a man of extraordinary genius and humanity.
"A Journey With Paul Cox" a fascinating profile that reveals how the director's life and art are entwined, directed by Gerrit Messiaen and Robert Visser; Vincent Van Gogh Biography; Filmmaker Biography; Interactive Menus; Scene Selection

A great film about an extraordinary artist. Watch it twice -- once to pay attention to the words spoken, and the second time to concentrate on the images that fill the screen. If you love VanGogh, this film is a wonderful incite into his genius.
