Omnibus: Van Gogh (1990)
Episode 18, Season 27
A passionate and original take on the artist's life.
8 November 2016
A brilliant film, with extraordinary acting and direction. The haunting script captures the way crucial moments in one's early life influence all that follows---and posits that any present moment contains elements of our past and hints of our future. The way various biographical info is presented is canny--and often comic. The wrenching performance by the star surely deserved more awards than this video garnished. I would rate this a ten if it had been slightly cut--we labor too long to achieve the finale, and, yes, I would have appreciated more views of the paintings themselves in order to see his development as an artist. Nevertheless, this film left me dazed with delight.
