Van Gogh (2007)

FROM THE LINER NOTES

Van Gogh traveled to Paris and then to England to be an art dealer. He fell in love, got rejected, lost his job, became a missionary in a coal mine, got fired, fell in love again, got rejected, took up with a prostitute, painted 800 pictures, went mad in Provence, cut off his ear, spent a year in a mental institute and committed suicide at the age of 37. He only sold one painting while alive.

This award-winning film paints a kaleidoscopic, impressionistic picture of the life and loves of the acclaimed artist Vincent Van Gogh; starring Golden Globe® winner Linus Roache as the eccentric, tormented genius.
