Negative Positive
Title: As a lover of Van Gogh, I did not care for this movie.
Review: Jacques Dutronc was great, it was the directing and the portrayal of Van Gogh that I thought was inaccurate. This movie is only based on the last 67 days of Van Gogh's life. Perhaps, I would have enjoyed it more if we could have watched how Van Gogh evolved. What was he like during the ten years before his death? I'd like to see a movie that can depict more of the essence of Van Gogh, and not only focus on "the worst days of his life". There is a huge misconception in the world, of who Van Gogh "is", and this movie only feeds it. Read "Dear Theo": Van Gogh's letters to his brother Theo. The book is far much better than this movie. At least, we can get the truth through Van Gogh's eyes, not Maurice Pialat's.
Is the review positive or negative?
