This is a very unusual movie. I explores the death of Vincent Van Gogh, and whether it was suicide, murder or a tragic accident. It does it, however in a film that entirely painted -- by hand -- in the style of Van Gogh, using the painting he made during the last 70 days of his life in the Normandy town of Auvers-sur-Oise. The characters in his works come to life vividly in the startling visual presentation.
I highly recommend this movie to those interested in visual art, and of course to those who love Van Gogh's work. I am certain that my fondness for the movie is enhanced by my passion for Van Gogh's works and my recent short visit to Auvers, but I think it will challenge and entertain many. One has to search for the film, as it plays mostly in movie theaters specializing in indie and "art" films. We found it in the Montgomery Cinema her in New Jersey, just north of Princeton University. If you see it playing locally, or can find it on Netflix, give it a try.
