Review of Vincent & Theo

One of my all time favorite movies. Can't get any better acting than by Tim Roth as Vincent and Paul Rhys as his brother. Intense, intense. Gritty. You can sense the madness-making of the katydid-bedeviled Arles region. And carelessness with the paint didn't help. For Vincent, almost all is conveyed just by Roth's subtle facial expressions. The irony at the beginning of the movie. The deeply discordant soundtrack and little touches by the director, when added to all the above, make for an absolutely beautiful (darkly) masterpiece. You can feel Vincent, and you can feel his brother Theo and their connection in producing, in a very short span of time, the incredible and incredibly original art which is Vincent Van Gogh's.
