This movie is over-rated and I would not recommend it you unless you particularly enjoy slow, dull French movies."Van Gogh" (1991) is unnecessarily long and, in my opinion, it's pretentious. The dialog is discontinuous, the characters are unlikable, and the pain of Van Gogh's life doesn't seem to follow from the environment in which he lives. This movie fails to engage the viewer and before an hour until the end you'll find yourself wishing it were over.
If you want to know something about Van Gogh's life, I suggest reading it in a book instead of gaining it from this attempt at a film.
