That distressed genius Van Gogh

Maybe it's the same as the repainting of Van Gogh's painting in the movie (Boldhearted), this is exactly the genius Van Gogh in the eyes of a director. He is trapped in hallucinations, but he has a unique eye; he is not close to humanity, but he is full of gratitude; he is fragile and sensitive,...

Regardless of the unique animation attributes of "Love Van Gogh", "Gate of Eternity" is more marginal and individual in comparison.

The impressionists, they are out of it. “So you believe that God gave you this gift because He wants to keep you in misery?” “I never thought about that that way.”
