This revealing documentary by Paul Cox takes you on a shattering journey through the life of a tortured Dutch genius -- Vincent van Gogh -- who became one of the most influential artists of modern history. Although he created 1,800 works during his decade-long career, van Gogh sold only one painting in his lifetime. The story of his turbulent, painful life is told through letters written to his brother Theo, which are eloquently read by John Hurt. (netflix)

Fifteen years after Zetterling and Hughes, and like them, Cox draws on Vincent’s letters, countering so many representations of van Gogh as a barely articulate madman. Opening with a sermon from the days when van Gogh tried to become a pastor paves the way for a portrait of a reflective, caring and passionate man, but also one whom it is quite possible to believe was difficult to be around. The filmmaker’s various methods aimed at bringing the artist’s milieu to life are mostly successful.
