This movie is Van Gogh's life story, it's told in a very dramatic and realistic fashion. Each scene provides a stark portrait of a mentally disturbed man and the beautiful art he created. I was surprised to see that Anthony Quinn won an Oscar for his performance as Gaugin. This movie made me sad, but is worth seeing.
