Review of Van Gogh (1969) by Gareth D — 12 Dec 2016
Educational sans melodramatic. Nobody understood the man and his doctor was useless. No wonder he got a smack from Vincent on his deathbed. He was surrounded by a lot of caring people who knew he was a genius but didn't want to buy his art.
The film cares too, while similarly doesn't understand or buy into his output. A work of genius in itself. Sublime to the senses. I foregoed (?) my trip to the cinema for this and wasn't disappointed.
Not for one second. It's living inside of me and is most welcome. Now I have to see all of Pialat's output...
