    Gauguin and Van Gogh take a piss in the wild, saying that Impressionism is out of date. Subverting the traditional genre, it seems as common as eating and drinking. Some people are only asked to draw flowers and leaves, but never thought to draw tree roots. Flowers will always wither, but his paintings are the gates of eternity, which can keep the people in the paintings forever young. Not being able to get fifty francs to keep the maid, she had to cut off her ear and send it to the prostitute....

    Perhaps like the (daringly) repainting of Van Gogh's painting in the movie, this is exactly what a director sees as the genius of Van Gogh. He is trapped in hallucinations, but has a discerning eye; he is impersonal, but he reciprocates; he is fragile and sensitive, but full of passion; he is poor, but rich in heart. He is willful and irritable, and will cut his ears for friends to leave; he loves nature, and suicide is not his style (the director adopts the theory of being mistakenly killed by...

    Finally, it is not a running account biopic. It mainly talks about Van Gogh's pastoral sketching time after arriving in Arles and his mental state in the final stage of his life: loneliness, fanaticism, hallucinations... "A little bit of madness is the best art." Arles saw the signs "Van Gogh painted XXX here" all the way along the way, and then saw that Van Gogh in the film was yelled and beaten by everyone, and no one appreciated him all his life, it was really distressing. This film made Van...

    In fact, it's a postcard movie. It doesn't matter that every picture can be enlarged and hung on the wall. . . . All kinds of golden yellow flashes to the optic nerve orgasm, visual Porn without sexual...

    Unlike previous Van Gogh films, this film aims to experience the painter's sensory world and inner world. In addition, it can be linked with "Love Van...

    Dafoe seems to have been born to play Van Gogh. One artist goes to play another artist, and there is a...

    The film shows what the world looks like from Van Gogh's point of view, Van Gogh's thinking, and Van Gogh's footsteps. The overall is relatively mediocre, and the gorgeous cast is no match for a Willem Dafoe. Many times, when his Van Gogh stands between heaven and earth and feels nature, the picture itself is very...

    The screenwriter tried to interpret the master's artistic state of mind from Van Gogh's point of view, and it matched the camera well. Many plausible interpretations even allude to the same encounter between Jesus and Van Gogh. In any case, Van Gogh was indeed born to paint. His strong desire to create and numerous works, his desire for natural beauty, and his sensitivity to light are undoubtedly beyond ordinary people. Dafoe's 90% approximation is also absolutely perfect....

    Apart from talking about Van Gogh's thoughts on the Bible, he didn't say anything. The key is this kind of visual film, but unfortunately it is the texture type that I have the most trouble with, which is very similar to that of Alfonso Cuaron's photographer. Coupled with the piano with a light cloud and light ambient, after 20 minutes of watching it, I was completely wilted, and it looked like I had finished watching it for Dafoe.. I don’t quite understand this choice of dialogue that switches...

    "I'm my painting. My vision is close to reality. I can make people feel alive." Arles with warm colors, some stories after painting. There are too many classical soundtracks and filters, like Van Gogh when asked who his favorite artist is. But I like...
