France/1991—directed by Maurice Pialat | In French with English subtitles. (159 minutes)

In rising to the risky challenge of dramatizing the last 67 days of the life of Vincent Van Gogh, French auteur Maurice Pialat fashioned this intimate depiction of a fascinating, troubled, yet frequently charming genius.

This is due to the generous and deeply human performance of singer and composer Jacques Dutronc, whose acting career followed his musical success and lead to his receiving the 1992 César Award - France’s version of the Oscar® - for his performance as Van Gogh in the film that director Jean-Luc Godard called “astonishing.”
