Director Maurice Pialat himself abandoned painting for lack of funds but he approaches van Gogh (Jacques Dutronc) without pity, as an artist who is part of and apart from a true and bustling world. Pialat takes up his story during the last two months of van Gogh’s life. Only after the artist's suicide do we see these days as a winding down, quiet irascibility as fearsome weariness.
35mm, color, in French with English subtitles, 158 min. DIR: Maurice Pialat. CAST: Jacques Dutronc, Alexandra London, Bernard Le Coq.
