Van Gogh
France | 1991 | col | 158 mins | dir. Maurice Pialat, with Jacques Dutronc, Elsa Zylberstein, Alexandra London
Concentrating on the last three months of the artist's life, Pialat gives us a very different Van Gogh from the popular Hollywood version of a tormented Kirk Douglas. Dutronc inhabits the role with quiet truthfulness and the result is a beautiful and poignant study that avoids facile attempts to explain or excuse the contradictions of a deeply troubled man.
