“Bildpoesi trying to capture van Gogh”
“Vincent van Gogh – at eternity’s gate”
“Directed by Julian Schnabel, Willem Dafoe, Rupert Friend, Oscar Isaac, Emmanuelle Seigner.”
“the DRAMA of the Unfortunate, unknown and disliked by his contemporaries. Today regarded as one of the empire greatest painters. Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) fate as a starving artist is perfect for those who want to project their romantic image of the eccentric genius. He cut off his ear! Tvångsvårdades.”
“Here be exchanged between the shaky close-ups, subjective camera and restful landscapes in panoramic images in which van Gogh (an excellent Willem Dafoe) is moving in the different stages of ecstasy. He looks at nature, he paints and Julian Schnabel, use unusual angles and lenses, playing with the color scheme to create bildpoesi. Intrusive music should enhance the feeling of drama.nSpråket shifts between american, French, English with French accent and French with an american accent.”
“Oscar Isaac plays his friend Paul Gauguin. Mads Mikkelsen, Niels Arestrup and Mathieu Amalric pops up in each scene. Conversations and meetings gives life and nerve to the movie.”
