Van Gogh Reviews

It is once again a rather obscure French movie which not much people have seen here in Listal. Mauriace Pialat was probably one of most highly regarded directors in France but I wonder if he was actually well known abroad. Anyway, to be honest, I haven't seen many movies directed by Pialat but I really liked this one, that’s for sure. Indeed, Van Gogh was definitely one of the most famous artists that ever lived and, in my opinion, they managed here to make a movie as fascinating as him. Even though Van Gogh was Dutch, he spent many years in France where he produced some of most famous work so there was always a special relationship between this guy and this land, at least, that’s how I see it. Anyway, the lead character was played by Jacques Dutronc who is quite famous in France but, he was famous as a singer, not as an actor but it didn't prevent him for giving a really impressive performance. To conclude, if you are interested in Van Gogh, it is probably the best movie about this amazing artist and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like French movies.
