Plot Summary:It's the late nineteenth century. Adult Dutch brothers Vincent Van Gogh and Theo Van Gogh, living in Paris, lead differing lives despite having art as a connection. Vincent, who sticks to his principles which includes believing in God but not religion, wants to be a full time painter, living in squalor for his art. Theo, who works in an art gallery, lives for the moment, he selling art which he doesn't much like to lead a comfortable life. One other area of commonality between the brothers is easily succumbing to pleasures of the flesh. Theo does not sell Vincent's art, as he knows it is not in demand. Vincent's view of his brother does not change when he learns it is Theo, and not their father which he had previously thought, who is supporting him. Each brother is a tortured soul - in Vincent's case, it considered in some circles as madness - which affects how each deals with his respective life. Beyond the several sexual relationships each has, some key moments and more extended periods in each their lives over the few years prior to their respective deaths is presented, including: Theo's battle with a bout a syphilis, which affects how and if he can carry on with his sexual relationships; Theo's superiors allowing him to run his own gallery largely on commission, which further pushes him into the realm of selling art he doesn't like to survive; Vincent's period in Provence, where he largely spends with fellow painter Paul Gaugin, one of the few other of his contemporaries he truly admires; and Vincent's infamous self-mutilation of his left ear, leading to Theo's measures to help him over his emotional pain by having him under the care of Dr. Paul Gachet, while dealing with his own turbulent marriage to the former Jo Bonger. That turbulence is largely due to Vincent often being a third in their relationship. This presentation is preceding by showing the acclaim that Vincent is regarded with in current times.

后现代的音乐加上性描写，完全是阿尔特曼的风格，表现凡高的人生没有表现人与人之间的疏离和讽刺资产阶级来的重要。影片从1987年向日葵在佳士得拍卖开始，分别表现了凡高与他的表哥莫夫在沙滩相见、和妓女西恩相...apos • 随感分享
相较《1900》，该片在豆瓣上仅三位数的观众看过，有点遗憾。另外，最近刚看了大热的梵高油画电影，又被《落水狗》里的Mr.Orange迷得一塌糊涂，所以多说一点，仅是随感的罗列。 1.Tim Roth的...又又 • 译后小记

找了很久很久。 终于找到。 但其实， 并不太好。 虽然凡高和Tim都是最爱。 而两者的结合，让我期待许久。 不是演技问题。 是剧情。 仿佛许多标签的堆砌。 把他一生中那些为人津津乐道的“事迹”生硬地拉...
